And it was good for Japan. Japan also developed Taiwan, Korea, Palau, Manchuria, Rabaul and many other places. Love them or hate them Japan curbed Sinostatist corruption in Korea and Taiwan which was a key reason why South Korea could have a strong and proud military today when pre-Japan Korea had serious Sinostatist corruption that prevented its military from being very effective for example in the 16th century.
