It goes back to the '80's after Toyota announced US production at the former NUMMI plant in Freemont, CA. Japanese unions went apoplectic at the thought of outsourcing production, resulting in civil unrest. Some Japanese politicians not owned by Toyota saw an opening to advance their interests and proposed breaking up Toyota claiming that it was a monopoly.
