"Made in Japan" won't have the same issue because culturally Japanese people will always buy a Japanese products even if there's a cheaper alternative. Visit Tokyo & count how many people drive Hyundai. "Made in US" doesn't have the same local advocacy because it's driven by different market dynamics (Consumerism & Immigration). Japanese work culture still cares for craftsman ship but they have fallen behind in advance tech compared to other nations like Taiwan & Korea.
