Any nationality is capable of producing offspring of high intellectual and innovative caliber given that they live in the right environment with the correct resources. Japan's GDP is mainly attributed to her policies in research and developement post WWII which helped build a solid technological-based economy.
Japan was already advanced before World War 2. In 1941, they had the world's best navy. But the US quickly caught up of course.
Japan was an advanced modern country as early as 1905. It defeated Russia and China easily.
Thier modernization began in the 1860's, more than 100 years before China began modernizing.
