HW is right. China has pulled some money out, but knows they have to have U.S. consumers. I read a book on Japan's earthquakes a number of years ago, but one of the things it mentioned (early 1990s pub date) was if Japan had a repeat say of the 1923 quake they would pull so much money out of the U.S. economic it would rock our economy. Never under estimate the power of a natural disaster to influence world economics.
