I thought in Japan it was called a Keiretsu[1] ? Samsung would be consider a Chaebol right? [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiretsu https://en.wikipedia.org/

  The difference between Zaibatsu and Keiretsu is how much the state is involved. After MacArthur's attempt to demolish Zaibatsu completely, they found a way to reorganize with almost no state involvement as Keiretsu. These days, after half of the century, Japanese pretty much recreated all the things MacArthur killed - from Zaibatsu to ultra-nationalism as government ideology [1] Samsung, Daewoo, Hyundai - pretty much any big Korean firm is Chaebol.
