You do know that we've been "occupying" Japan since the end of WW2 right? Besides that fact, most were never worried about Japan because it has: A. A small population B. A small military C. They are allied with us In comparison, communist China has: A. A large population B. A large militarily C. They are not allied with us. Do you now understand why some people are worried about it?

Japan had second largest economy back then, not China. The paranoia about Japanese ownership of American assets was through the roof. Just sayin’, there’s always a bogeyman.

Way to ignore the point. China has a huge population and military, Japan does not. China could try to do something, Japan never could.
