Before the advent of globalization, North America, Western Europe, and Japan were responsible for 70 percent of the world's manufactured exports. This is supported by data from the early 1990s and before. While the United States and Western Europe were still major players, Japan was also a significant contributor at that time. China's rise as a major manufacturing exporter came later with the effects of globalization. Therefore, options A, C, and D can be ruled out as they include China as a major contributor during the pre-globalization era.
