From the supplier: Japan is experiencing an ambiguity that stems from its desire to imitate the West's strategies for economic prosperity, which it had successfully undertaken, and its geographical and cultural status as a part of Asia. This ambiguity has been evident in its invasion of the rest of Asia during World War II and its subsequent renunciation of war as a national policy. While the first action was condemnable, the latter decision was misunderstood by the rest of the world which criticized Japan for its refusal to send a contingent to the UN security force during international military crises.
