    Key aspects of American influence on Japanese capitalism:

    Post-WWII Occupation and Reconstruction:
    The US occupation, led by General Douglas MacArthur, introduced significant changes to Japan's economic system. This included: 
    
    Land Reform: Breaking up large landholdings to benefit farmers and reduce the power of wealthy landowners. 
    

    Breaking up Zaibatsu: Attempting to dismantle the large, powerful business conglomerates (Zaibatsu) to promote free market competition. Promoting Free Market Capitalism: Shifting the Japanese economy towards a more free market model, inspired by American ideals.

    And they’re not a commonwealth of ours. If you think the US would defend Japan or Taiwan in the next few years, you’re as big of a fool as those that doubted a lying populist like Trump would win.

    I won’t be arguing any further. You do you chief. Sorry that the facts dont add up and you wanna squabble over things neither of us can change. You seem to have found a good home on shitjustworks, the vibe suits you

      I think we’re agreeing, we set up the Japanese markets. Not sure why you’re getting so antsy about this.

      And they’re not a commonwealth of ours. If you think the US would defend Japan or Taiwan in the next few years, you’re as big of a fool as those that doubted a lying populist like Trump would win.

      I didn’t say they were one, I said they’re almost like one. Do you think the trump administration would defend Puerto Rico? He threw paper towels at them when they had a disaster. Again, not saying Japan is a commonwealth, but trump sticking up for them isn’t a guide either.
