I recently read "Saving the Sun: A Wall Street Gamble to Rescue Japan from Its Trillion-Dollar Meltdown" by Gillian Tett and would recommend it to others, especially China bears :)
These stagnations seem to be about protecting elites (top 1/10,000) from losing money in their poor investments, and, more broadly speaking, from their mismanagement of their countries.
