I can't find anything much outside of Toyota getting a $2 billion loan.
That is not "investment". Compare that with the explicit ownership of GM by
the US and the unions.

As for "MITI ties", those ties have often been detrimental. Soichiro Honda
openly and controversially defied MITI's directives when he decided to
start building cars. Had he complied, I wouldn't be drivig an Integra right
now.

Your penultimate sentence as quoted above. Not only is it untrue, it is
very silly.
