unapologetic, but peaceful and harmless Japan

Japan is part of the West and by no means "harmless"

Absolutely true. Japan is as western as Germany or Switzerland in material terms. Any denial of it is simply racism and equating being western with being white.

Their colonial history and current exploitation of the global financial system gets them the title.
