Yeah, here in Germany it's mostly Vietnamese people, but when I lived in Italy it was Chinese people.
Japan was way less touched by WW2 (and the preceding period) than say China was, despite the events of 1945, and also got massive development aid from the US + did state capitalism to create a high tech industry, which made Japan the only country developing faster than the USSR in the cold war. Also, despite their sinophobic government, Japan maintained relations with countries like North Vietnam and supposedly also had some of the less openly exploitative trade deals with the GDR in the cold war.
On the other hand, Japan was pretty active in imperialism (still is, in countries like... Vietnam) and working there or for a japanese company is often like living hell. Though Japan's imperialism is not as potent as it was in the 1980s, as landlords crashed their economy and the companies, despite their technological edge, lost relevance in many ways.
