Today I felt depressed and downtrodden. So I looked a certain TNO National Spirit, and turned it into a drawing.

Korea and Taiwan are too poor
As a Korean, I am speaking from a position that is familiar with the history of Japan's rule of the Korean Peninsula. Japan adopted the "colonial industrialization" policy in the 1930s to promote industrialization, especially in North Korea, and in 1945, Heungnam and Hamheung were two of the top industrial zones in Asia.
And the map shows that Seoul was poorer than Tohoku in 1962. However, in fact, as of 1942, it occupied the status of the fifth city in the Japanese Empire and even continued to expand. As it appears, Japan clearly had a development goal for the Korean Peninsula and made an attempt to make it its mainland through a assimilation policy.
Therefore, I personally don't think the story of Japan restraining the industrial development of the Korean Peninsula fits Japan's goal. Of course, in the pre-update version, the Korean Peninsula was too wealthy, but the current version has excessively reduced GDP and goes against the testament.
Even though the Korean Peninsula is a core state of Japan, there is no incentive to curb the industrial development of the core states. That's why I think we need to revise this part.
Next is Taiwan. Although I am not as detailed about Taiwan's history of Japanese rule as Korea, I am certain that the current setting is incorrect. If you look at the map, Taiwan has also become quite poor, which is incorrect. Japan interested in Taiwan's industrial development in OTL, and the foundation for Taiwan's Taichung industrial zone was laid during the Japanese rule. Taiwan's colonial rule was accompanied by significant economic development.
Kaohsiung flourished as an important naval port, and in 1942 Taipei was the 12th largest city in the Japanese Empire. Taiwan was also closely integrated beyond the Korean Peninsula due to its high compliance with Japanese rule. There is no reason for Japan to restrain industrial development, because Taiwan is the core state in the game and is not very resistant.
