Fine friends you've picked.
Japan: GDP -2.1% economy has been sinking for over 20 years and is still sinking.
Australia: Cool they can sell you milk (Oh? Indians don;t drink cow milk? Too Bad!)
Vietnam: Where is it?
Philippines: The country is in poverty for centuries
China: Coming out of a slowdown. Manufacturing profit up, Stick Index stable, housing market heated, inventory reduced, CPI ticked up (no deflation fear), GDP = 6.9% (one of world's highest).
All core economic indices are pointing to another round of robust growth.
