If we were to compare this to actual china, then we are micronesia and they don't give a shit about these tiny instances.

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

Yeah their whole shtick has been mimicking American corporatism et al since before the 80s. Aint working out for them.

Actual steps? We have books about that since the 1800s. Usually involves overthrowing the bourgeoisie, arming the proletariat, and dismantling their networks of propaganda

Add an extra three days for the three day special military operation!

We've tried everything but moving away from a capitalist system or allowing immigrants into our country and we're all out of ideas
