Japan is suffering from the financial crisis with a weaker dollar damaging its exports. Japan's Nikkei stock exchange saw its third-biggest single-day drop on record yesterday. However, according to ABC News' Noriko Namiki in Japan, there is more concern than anger at the United States.
"I do not think there is a sense of anger or anti-Americanism as far as Japan is concerned. Japan wants the U.S. to take clear actions, but I have not found a lot of finger pointing."
China lowered its interest rates after the financial crunch, but ABC News' Beth Loyd said there is no widespread ire directed at the United States. "Chinese people are used to rough times, and they don't blame Americans, certainly not for what is going on in their domestic markets."
If the roots of the global financial crisis seem unclear to politicians and ordinary people, it might be because not even financial experts fully understand what is going on, said Duckenfield of the London School of Economics.
"Part of the problem is that we don't understand many of the connections between the financial markets. It would be a lot easier to fix if we did," he told ABCNews.com.
