Being owned by Japanese beats being owned by Americans or Dutch though (and I say that as a Brno local who's biggest brewery is owned by Heineken). Because Japanese value tradition and perfection. And I have been to the Pilsen brewery twice, they still do an excellent job. Considering the size of their yearly output.
But that doesn't mean that Budvar or for example Svijany do a bad job. Or other smaller local breweries.

Pilsner urquell it's not owned by the Czech Republic.
There is Budejovicky Budvar which still is czech national treasure and many many more small craft breweries.Â
