Answer:

The practice of female infanticide.

Explanation:

Some countries, especially China, India, have practiced female infanticide due to the fact that they regard males as superior. As for China an addition factor might have been the one child rule applied for a long time although this law has been relaxed in the last few years and you can now have 2 children.

Some villages in the north have an alarming surplus of boys and young men. Yet attitudes and behaviour are changing. In India, and in the world as a whole, the war on baby girls seems to be winding down.

This was probably the high-water mark of Japan's acceptance by the Western powers prior to 1945.

And to this point, Japan had really acted exactly as the various European colonial powers had.
