I totally agree with you, these doom sayers did the same with Japan through out the 60s,70s,80s and even the 90s. In the end all their wishful ill will eventually failed and Japan grew into an developed nation. I find it funny at one time people accused Toyota,Honda etc., of makeing plastic cars with flimsy steel and poor build. Today the west copies Japan in Car production and the huge gas guzzling models, metal monsters of US have all looked towards Japan for stream lining their production and cutting the use of metal. The irony of it all is that even with an on going success story we can always expect some people to wish for the worst.
