1. Japan has extensive overseas investment. There are Japanese overseas assets in many parts of the world, and Myanmar is no exception, so Japan has a certain economic voice in Myanmar. So it is not surprising that Myanmar has the "imprint" of the Japanese.

2. The concern of the government and people. Although Japan was defeated in World War II, the Japanese government and people are still very concerned about the fallen soldiers. Most Japanese monuments in Myanmar are private acts of Japanese nationals after the war. I once read a report that the Japanese recorded in detail the soldiers killed. In some historical sites, even the names of war horses were recorded in detail. On the other hand, due to the lack of funds and management, the memorial and cemetery of China fallen soldiers in Myanmar are mostly buried by weeds. (I don't know why, but I can't help thinking of MacArthur's famous saying, "Veterans never die, just fade away")
