„Es ist bedauerlich, dass die Takaichi-Regierung die ‚Akzeptanz von Ausländern‘ fördert, während ihre Politik auf der Prämisse basiert, dass Ausländer gefährlich sind.“

by promising to be harsher on foreigners, the Takaichi administration is risking little to nothing in terms of immediate backlash. Foreigners can’t vote. It’s a victimless crime because the victims themselves are silent.
It’s called lying. She’s lying and pandering to the dumb.
Just a heads up, this is actually an opinion column, not a standard news report.
It’s from the „Tokyo Eye“ section of Newsweek Japan, which features guest writers. The author is Karin Nishimura, a journalist who just released a new book last week (Japan: The Underside of a ‚Perfect‘ Country [ 日本 「完璧」な国の裏側 ]).
Accepting foreigners into the country while heavily restricting their path to residency, opportunities, and access to services and support will only amplify every issue that locals complain about, from foreigners settling in low-income areas, to failure to learn Japanese and integrate. And political parties can continue to use the anger that causes for their own gain while avoiding the negative economic impact of reducing immigration. Locals in low income areas suffer, working foreigners suffer, politicians and wealthy people benefit.
Tbf I don’t think normal Japanese themselves hates all foreigners either. There are a few young people in my company that talked about voting for Sanseito, but does not seems to be hostile toward their foreigner colleagues. And I can confirm it is not usual Japanese tatemae, because even if they can fool me, they can’t fool all of us foreigner shain.
There is no doubt that foreigner haters would have initial negative impression of foreigners, though. Or else they wouldn’t vote for Sanseito.
