I absolutely agree that there was a massive overreaction from it.
That said, there was also a ton of face-saving on Japan's side as well that manifested in a lot of misinformation coming from them. Essentially, there was a distinct lack of transparency about the scope of the problem, so neighboring countries were justifiably unhappy with how Japan handled things.
