Fuck it, they should add Sony and Hitachi and manufacture everything. Mitsubishi is already heavily in the power generation game (on a scale that most people won't recognize along with Hitachi - it is huge). Japan is very corpo focused. If they added just a measly two more corporations, they could easily take over global production. I'm not even kidding here. Both Hitachi and Mitsubishi have a huge amount of global control over the power generation market.

How do I know this? I'm contracted to both. Every single order is specifically related to nuclear power generation. I make critical replacement parts that fit in the turbines of nuclear generators. I'm technically under NDA, but fuck it. These parts made from G-10 or G-11 fiberglass, and their tolerances are shit. Oh man, don't get me even close to started on why I won't approach a device made my Siemens Medical.

I'm amazed how much stuff is apparently made by Panasonic. I'm fairly sure I had to install some Panasonic automatic door sensors at one point.

Japan and South Korea could probably take over the entire global manufacturing industry and no one would notice since they basically make everything already anyway.
