Beijing do not realise how lucky they are to get economic wisdom from Mr Kuroda. They should also avail themselves of diplomacy lessons from Donald Trump, and a Strategic Planning primer from George W. Bush.
On a personal level I'm sure Bill Clinton could offer marriage guidance if they made it worth his while.
Ms Lagarde can relax. Beijing's central planners are equally as capable of screwing things up as the three stooges based in Washington, Frankfurt and Tokyo.
