It seems similar to Western Europe after WWII: the puppets who live nearest to the enemy are allowed a high standard of living to minimise the revolutionary spirit.

If Japan’s infrastructure was as bad as that in the US, ordinary Japanese people would be asking questions about capitalism/socialism.
