I would say it is fair to make fun of them as long as they themselves still glorify that past.

So you would say it's fair if he had said "It's called Japan" instead? They glorify their recent past as well.

I'm sure a lot of folks on SEA would heartily agree, especially Chinese and Koreans.

If by recent past you mean the genocides in their most recent wars with their neighbors then yes, I would say that would qualify them to be made fun of in that way. If you just mean some industrial successes in the 1980s, not so much.
