Both Japanese and Korean zaibatsu are fully controlled by the United States, but Japan and Korea respond to the United States in somewhat different ways.
Japan mitigates U.S. control of Japan by diluting the power of the zaibatsu, so the dark hazards of the Japanese zaibatsu are relatively minor, and they have relatively little influence at the economic level. However, the U.S. control of Japan’s economy and politics is deep in the marrow, which may be related to the Japanese character, the surface appears to be submissive and polite, the heart is ready to retaliate ruthlessly.
It is the Korean zaibatsu, however, that is the most typical of the Korean zaibatsu, with a strong control over the Korean economy.
Interestingly, the South Korean government is not very amenable to U.S. control.
A South Korean film depicts how the plutocrats came under U.S. control in the 1990s, which is the reason why a retired president of South Korea did not end well.
It’s admirable that Korean politicians continue to do what they do, even though they know this.
