It is not bias, it is common sense. If I have to choose between a foreign and a domestic product, I will go domestic 100% of the time. The money has a better chance of coming back to me that way. The Japanese are smart people.

If they were so smart then they wouldn't be in a 1.009 quadrillion yen debt which is $10.44 trillion (more than twice their GDP). 

What you say is true, but you forget to mention that the vast majority of their debt is internal. It is owed to domestic creditors. So it's not really a problem like it is for countries like Greece or Geat Britain.
