Which statements are true about both Japan and China? Check all that apply. \( \square \) A. Japan had significant growth that began after World War II and kept going until a recession hit in the 1990s. B. Much of the construction in Tokyo was driven by their huge economic growth after World War II. C. China still places strong restrictions on its people. D. China and Japan have the same forms of government.

Let's review each option: A. "Japan had significant growth that began after World War II and kept going until a recession hit in the 1990s."  – This statement accurately describes Japan’s postwar economic miracle and the “lost decade” after the 1990s recession. However, it applies only to Japan. B. "Much of the construction in Tokyo was driven by their huge economic growth after World War II."  – This refers specifically to Tokyo, highlighting Japan’s rapid postwar reconstruction and development. Again, it only applies to Japan. C. "China still places strong restrictions on its people."  – This is generally used to describe the political and social controls in China. It does not apply to Japan, which operates as a democratic nation with far fewer such restrictions. D. "China and Japan have the same forms of government."  – This is not true. Japan is a constitutional monarchy with democratic institutions, while China is a one-party state led by the Chinese Communist Party. Since the question asks for statements that are true about both Japan and China, none of the options qualify because each statement either pertains specifically to one country or is incorrect when comparing the two. Correct Answer: None of the above statements are true about both Japan and China.
