>Japan has a current account surplus three times what it was in 1991.
>Japan is the sole producer of some the most important high-end materials in electronics manufacturing (semiconductor-grade silicon, high-end nickel-hydride batteries, high-end transistors that can survive at extreme heat).
>Japan's declining population will make the average citizen wealthier in the long run, as real estate prices decline and homes become more affordable.
>Japan has always maintained an unemployment rate <5%, even at the height of its so called "lost decade".

>Japan's debt is indeed large, but it is largely owned by its citizens, Japan has massive FPI holdings of foreign countries treasuries, it's the second largest holder of US debt, among other things.
