It had industry, but in comparison to other industrial countries it was most butturedly developing.
Pre-war Japan was not a compebreastor in many industries. Post War Japan became a compebreastor because they focused on customer needs ( and they they listened to Deming). For simple examples just look at the American and German Camera and Optics industries in the post WWII era.

Of course cost is the reason goods are being successfully produced elsewhere. And we found that cheaper better products (and services) could be produced in Japan after WWII. And the same thing happened in Korea, Indonesia, India, Myanmar, Puerto Rice and is set to happen in South America.
Same thing happened with the U.S. during the 19th century - we became a low cost high volume producer of many products and goods.
Oh, they most certainly are if you drop out the concerns about the political regime in China. I do not understand why the CCP is an issue any more than the nasty regimes that have led countries like Indonesia and Myanmar. And we have continued to buy products from and move production to those countries.
