SECTION I: Trurh on Investment to/from China
The U.S. is not the largest investor into China.
Except Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is Japan, the largest direct investor into China.
Top 10 Origins of Non-Financial FDI into China
($ billion)
Country....2008.....2009...Growth(%)
-----------------------------------------
Hong Kong....41.0....54.0......31.6
Taiwan.........1.9....6.6......245.7
Japan..........3.7....4.1......12.7
Singapore....4.4....3.9......-12.4
USA.............2.9....3.6......21.5
S. Korea......3.1....2.7......-13.8
UK..............0.9....1.5.......60.7
Germany......0.9....1.2......36.3
Macao.........0.6....1.0......71.9
Canada.......0.5....1.0......76.5

However, there are some discrepancies in statistics on FDI from Japan between on the Japanese side and on the Chinese side:
....Japan's Data....China's Data...($1 = 90 yen)
2005....8.07........6.53.....($billion)
2006....7.97........4.76
2007....8.12........3.59
2008....7.44........3.65

So, what is necessary is not G20 but C8+1 with:
Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, America, South Korea, Britain, Germany, Canada and China.
The Washington Post and other American media must help form C8+1 Meeting at least to secure Chinese investment into the U.S. Federal Government through buying Treasury bonds, since China has now U.S. Treasury bonds worth $900 billion while Japan holds a $800 billion scale of the Treasury bonds.
SECTION II: China Water Crisis
Now thunderbolts are striking everhwhere, here, around Tokyo, where I am typing. A temperature gauge on one of PCs shows 86 degrees F (30 degrees C).
Japan is in the middle of a month-and-half long rainy season. The sky is mostly covered by clouds. Or, to have a rain, the sky must be fully covered by clouds, low and high. It is not easy to have a rain. Just one or two, or several clouds cannot result in rainfall.
When will mankind have power and ability to control weather? When will mankind let a rain fall at their will in deserts on the earth?
Of course, I have one solution which uses 8,000-feet artificial mountains to be set on a shore before a desert as I once introduced.
Indeed, one of China's weak points might be related to water:
---------
If present trends are not reversed, the World Bank forecasts that by 2020 there will be 30 million environmental refugees in China due to water stress.
- With 20% of the world’s population but only 7% of global water resources, China meets with a severe challenge.
- More than half of China's 660 cities suffer from water shortages, affecting 160 million people.
- The per capita water volume in China is one fourth of the world average.
- 90% of cities’ groundwater and 75% of rivers and lakes are polluted.
- As a result of widespread water pollution, 700 million people drink contaminated water every day.
- Waterborne diseases have created a rising number of premature deaths.
- Between November 2005 and January 2006, three large-scale incidents occurred, halting water supply for millions of people and raising awareness of the challenges ahead.
- The government plans to mitigate water pollution by investing in wastewater treatment facilities.

Luk 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Luk 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
Luk 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
