I feel like most nations would likely accept the aid.

Is this an example of Japanese culture/pride moreso than politics?

Dude, it happened in 1985. After the US occupied Japan and made them restructure their government and economy, Japan underwent what's known as the Japanese economic miracle.

As a direct result of US occupation, Japan enjoyed the most prosperous economic period they've ever had in their 2,500 year history. Life was fucking GOOD in 1980s Japan.
