@shortstories I agree that any success achieved is in spite of any exogenous phenomenon Not because of it.
However, is it fair to claim that it is because of the US alone thar Japan and Korea have only thrived because of US foreign direct investment?

It is primarily because they imported a alternative worldview
North Korea and China got it's worldview imparted from "communist" Russia
Japan and South Korea got it's worldview imparted from "Christian" "Capitalist" United States
Confucianism is about putting your elders before morality
Christianity is about putting morality before your elders
Whether or not the historical and theological claims of Christianity are true it is a better foundation
Korean is also a better language than Chinese because it has a alphabet that allows a more easy dictionary & less characters to put into computer programs involving writing making it better for technological progress
But that is not enough to explain the difference because both South & North Korea have the same alphabet
But the south Korean language influences people to commit suicide because there are a lot of suicide based phrases in it's grammar or figures of speech
