Japan blocked the US manufacturers from selling in Japan. The US companies then licensed the technology to Matsushita and other manufacturers. The Japanese manufacturers had their own captive market where they could charge higher prices and an entry into the US market where they could sell sets at below the competition. There was an old PBS Frontline program on this in 92. Anti-dumping tarrifs were supposed to be levied on Japan in the 70s. Nixon, Ford, and/or Carter killed the tarrifs in exchange for Japanese cooperation on some initiative with China and/or USSR. There used to be huge demonstrations back then whenever the US would be looking into Japan's predatory business/government practices. The sight of the "Red Army" demonstrations was enough to back down US Big Business and Nixon.

Some of those types of tactics have been learnt by China and the tigers.
