If the west hadn't influenced Japan in the ways it did, I would think that Japan would not be the economic world leader that it is today.

Eh? Japan's economy is in a relatively poor condition right now (as shown from the insanely weak condition -which is still getting weaker- of the Yen on the international trading market). It has been slowly improving, then falling again, for nearly a decade now which is very strange since the GNP in Japan is very large in comparison to many other 'first-world' countries
If you meant Japan is a world-leader in exportation of goods, then I completely agree but I don't understand why you are saying the economy is a world-leader. That said, it is also quite possible I have missed the point you were trying to make so this post may even be irrelevant
