I think it's hard to make the case that the saving glut has been created by the policies of the West. (hard does not mean impossible, but we'd be talking about a chain event. It's not the immediate consequence by any mean).

On the other hand, that it fails to address the root cause is clear enough. You would have had a bubble, Asia or no Asia, with those negative real interest rates for so long, coupled with next to no taxation on the proceeds of capital.
