Where there is a will, there is a way. The will depends on priorities. You asked why India and Japan couldn't. You didn't include many other technologically advanced countries like U.K., Germany and France in your question. So success in space flight is not about technological achievement but more about where one wants to spend the money. Japan and India are also pursuing space technology as you well know.
The desire of the non-western nations to gain experience in space flights is driven by the need to keep access to the space frontier. Some day there will be material gain from trips to other planets and moons. The likes of China, India and Japan do not want the western nations to have monopoly of this frontier.
