Japan has a strong culture of "don't rock the boat, be sure, very very sure if you accuse someone", and thus accusations are already sentences practically. Couple this with any kind of loyalty, and you immediately see that speaking up will get folks excommunicated (ronins, woah!) ▶ this video So, probably they kept quiet on the first failed test, made it go away to save face, and then there was no going back.
Or third or any-th world country. Big corps are big business, big money, big power. Germany is 6th on this list, Norway is 1st. Japan is 15th [0] and Hong Kong is 16th [1] the US is not in the top 20. link [0] ▶ this video [1] nor for long :(
There was also a recent "Rare Earth" episode about this: "Why Every Japanese Criminal is Guilty" - ▶ this video
Speaking of Japan, a recent Rare Earth video is Kafkaesque.[0] By contrast, the US has more prisoners per capita than Japan and more than all countries except the island nation of Seychelles. 0. Why Every (Accused) Japanese Criminal is Guilty. ▶ this video
