MacArthur was loved by the Japanese but I’m not entirely sure why.


MacArthur had spent a large part of his career in Asia and knew how important ‘face’ was to people in that part of the world and conducted his ‘rule’ of post-war Japan accordingly. My wife and I took a tour of Japan maybe 20 years ago and the guide made of point of pointing out MacArthur’s GHQ as an important place.

I helped on a project in Taiwan years ago. I knew enough about “face” to be careful in discussing how the local consultant (a Professor at the University) didn’t have a clue to what he was doing.
