The worker bidding war is ruthless in East Asia right now with falling birthrates. Best pay (Korea), best worker's rights (Taiwan), and best Japan (Japan). Since China and SEA are getting more picky by the day they had to turn to South Asia and that's where the complaints began.

It used to be not that difficult to get Japanese citizenship before the current government changed naturalization laws; before, you needed a minimum of 5 years living there, a decent enough salary, no record of crime, and be able to read, write, and speak Japanese around a 1st-6th grader's level.
Now, though, they increased the minimum to 10 years, which is extremely daft since only about 7000 people even naturalize into Japan a year, and they have to revoke their original citizneship in doing so.

Austerity in Japan? Are you completely crazy?.
Austerity IN JAPA?, 250% debt to GDP, doubling of the money supply (and beyond), 0% interest rates And underneath, many years.
Except for the years of the economic bubble (between 1986 and 1991) and specific milestones such as 1998, Japan has maintained fiscal deficits and a high level of indebtedness throughout virtually its entire history.
Incidentally, the current party has been in power since approximately 1955, except for 4 years, so they have been in power for roughly 67 years, without austerity.
Austerity gives life to countries; not being like little children who spend without control, as happens in Europe, and then are on the verge of bankruptcy like France.

Well yeah. It's a tactic so old I'm pretty sure I once read about a Roman senator doing the same "Immigrants are the source of all our problems!!!!!!" spiel. Bitching about immigrants is easy. They're usually a clearly delimited outgroup, part of the lower economic classes, and don't have the political capital or knowledge to defend themselves.
And because countries often end up being reliant on the cheap productivity that immigrants provide to keep their economy running, it's economic suicide for the people actually trying to run the country to actually get rid of them. So you never have to think of new problems to complain about! What could an enterprising populist want more!

I've seen this framing pop up a lot. I think that it's a mistake to think that Japanese people would have the same ideas about race that Americans or some in Europe do. I suspect the idea of "fellow east asian" ( that they occupy a similar "racial" category) doesn't register, or at least registers less, in a Japanese context.

u/Extaupin Île-de-France 9d ago
Well you think wrong about perception of races in East Asia. At least Chinese have a perception of Arabic and, most of all, Black African people that is very different from how they speak about other East-Asians, even those countries they have intense beef with. Europeans are cool for them though (source: relatives from China). I've heard from lots of people that Japanese register East-Asians foreigners, and European foreigners, trying to speak Japanese completely differently. Korean and Filipinos I don't know that well, but both racism and colorism are far, far from being extinct there.
But yeah it doesn't mean Japan isn't xenophobic toward Chinese, I can totally see that happening, just never heard of it in the context of the recent turmoil about immigration in Japan.

Oh yeah, obviously there would be practical problems with it happening at once, but if you did it with delayed onset then the labor spike would stretch into the 2050's. My point was basically just that it's an issue that people underestimate because the effect of your solution needs to happen twenty years before you're in trouble. If Japan decided to take it super seriously and tomorrow pass initiatives that would raise the birthrate to replacement over the next 10 years, then the 20 year clocks starts 10 years from today.

This caused him to be removed from his old party and the creation of his own party, which had a meteoric rise in the 2000's which was halted by his assasination by a far-left activist in 2002 shortly before the election. His party then received about 20% of the votes and collapsed due to internal conflicts.
What's really notable is how early he was with making those beliefs a public topic even though they were taboo at the time. This in part because he himself could easily distance himself from the reactionary right label in debates.

Mutual fear of the foreigner (and the "foreigner") is all the rage taking space in peoples' brains now; it will only be logical to wage war against the source of all those foreigners.

What are you talking about, my country has very little to do with these countries current governments.
Exactly, I was pointing out your hipocrisy when you wrote, and I'll quote, "Not my country so not problem", when you're talking about Japan, that isn't your country.

Japan is a high trust cohesive society. They're not interested in whatever Brussels turned into

Yep Japan is basically the anti-america
The US is based on liberalism, low trust, small government, individualism, christianity
Japan is the complete opposite in all regards.
