Auf die konkrete Frage, welche Verbrechen Ausländer in Japan begehen, sagt Koexistenzminister Onoda: 1) betrügerische Erlangung von Führerscheinen, 2) Verursachen von Verkehrsunfällen, 3) niedrigere Sozialversicherungsbeiträge und 4) Fällen von Bäumen, ohne die erforderlichen Meldungen ordnungsgemäß einzureichen (ab 7:46)

>I’m Murakami from the Tokyo Shimbun. Thank you for your time. I’d like to ask about the foreign ministers‘ meeting. Specifically, the Prime Minister’s statement. There have been instances where illegal acts or rule-breaking by some foreigners have caused the public to feel uneasy or unfairly treated.
>Yes.
>Regarding these illegal acts and rule violations by some foreigners, what specific incidents were you referring to in your New Year’s address?
>Well, the types are quite varied, but at that time, I could only mention a few examples. For instance, cases where foreigners obtained driver’s licenses fraudulently. Foreign nationals causing traffic accidents. Additionally, surveys indicate that the social insurance payment rate among foreign nationals is lower compared to Japanese nationals.
Furthermore, we are aware of cases where foreign nationals conducted logging without properly filing required notifications under laws like the National Land Use Planning Act.
>Well, on top of that, the Prime Minister did say it was “some,” but if that image sticks to all foreigners, regardless of their background, there’s a concern it could lead to discrimination.
>How do you think we should communicate to prevent this from leading to such discriminatory situations?
>Well, as you say, we consistently state that we will properly address foreign nationals who violate certain rules or laws. However, if this is reported as implying an intent to reject all foreign nationals, it could cause genuine concern among those who are working hard to integrate. And I believe this is extremely problematic. Ensuring compliance with these rules is crucial for dispelling the anxieties and frustrations of Japanese citizens. But as someone with foreign roots myself, I worry that if the actions of a few are seen as representing all, it can lead to truly damaging reputational harm spreading. So, to prevent that negative sentiment from reaching those who are working hard,
we must strictly deal with those who do not follow these rules and laws. We must communicate that all foreigners living in Japan are people who live according to the rules and laws. I believe this is extremely important.

>This is Iwamura from Kyodo.
>Regarding foreign policy, I’d like to ask: when you mention “rules,” are you referring to major ordinances, or also internal regulations of private companies? I believe there are various rules in society. Are you referring to the overall framework, or how should we understand this?
>This becomes a very broad issue, but regarding laws—of course, compliance with laws is essential. However, the obligation to follow rules applies equally to both Japanese and foreigners. For example, some communities struggle with garbage disposal rules, while others face difficulties with company rules. Within this diverse society where everyone, including Japanese citizens, lives together, there are rules to maintain a pleasant living environment.
and the need for everyone to follow rules that allow us to live comfortably together may or may not be included, depending on the policy. For example, the rules and laws under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice might be interpreted differently, I think that going forward, the relevant ministries and agencies will clarify how they intend to handle this matter.
Those pesky loggers… Oh, I guess this concerns that one incident where a Chinese hotel owner cut down a few trees.
Also daddy didn’t come home…
Woah so Japanese people never get into accidents? Crazy
If insurance rate is lower that is what the local goverent office decided, not foreigners. All of this stuff is based on the Japanese goverenment and not foreigners. Next she will say its a crime to walk outside, breath, eat, and drink water.
She complains about foreign crime, but stays silent about the slush fund people still in the diet and nothing about Unification Church ties. She needs to look at herself and others that break laws before she comments about foreigners.
I don’t expect anything from this airhead who has zero credentials and shitty academic history lmao
Naive perhaps, but reasonable.
The point of foreigners being seen to get away with things Japanese people don’t do (or admit to doing) leading wider spread resentment and discrimination is a reasonable point.
It’s pointless screeching ‘oh Japanese people do it too!’
It’s true for most of Anode’s examples (especially traffic accidents), but this is an emotion driven topic. As it is pretty much everywhere in the world right now. Even where the facts aren’t there, it’s the image that will push people.
The fuck? Number 1 is usually tourists that were trying to take advantage of a DL testing loophole. Number 2 is caused more by old Japanese men pressing the gas instead of the breaks. Number 3 is a literal lie. Number 4 is what Japanese do on a seasonal basis, cutting trees down to bare stumps then bitching about the heat when there’s no shade in the summer.
I can’t believe she didn’t mention deer-kicking
Man she gives me Clayton Bigsby vibes I’m telling you.
The next time you see a foreigner with a saw in their pocket suspiciously eyeing a tree, report it. SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
Bet all of her foreigner disgust comes from pappy doing a runner on her. On behalf of all the foreigners getting the microscope on us, thanks dad
Actual monsters
(Go back making soft-eroge games for the PS Vita, Onoda san)
Jesus they can’t even lie about us eating cats and dogs, this is such lazy xenophobia
That’s a long winded way of saying you miss your dad
I thought it would be something on the level of drug dealing or homicide
Didn’t big motor the car dealer and several of its Japanese employees intentionally poisoned the trees in front of their shops?
„breaking laws and rules“ always with these „rules“. If there’s a serious problem pass a law.
One thing I hear a lot about and I suppose her tree cutting example would be included, is foreigners building things in places that destroy natural beauty. And I’m just like, if what they’re doing is illegal arrest them, but what does being a foreigner have to do with it. Either you have an enforced building code that meets people’s needs or you don’t, this is a domestic issue not a foreigner issue.
Absolutely comical, poor Kimi chan those bitter feelings of abandonment come shining thru with every presser … lol
The drivers license thing was a loophole that spread on Chinese social media but has since been closed. It was legal but they fixed it. They could make it retroactive too. Not sure what the problem is now.
Me, walking down the street with a tree on my shoulder Commando style… „Nani?“
Are people even hearing the follow up question?
First they came for the ones who cut trees down without properly filing necessary notifications
And I did not speak up for them, for I do not cut trees down without properly filing necessary notifications
Japan is one of the countries I am interested to have joyful holiday sadly I have to choose other countries bc I don’t dare come here anymore 🙁
“Foreigners”? Do they distinguish between tourists and residents, or does your genetics only matter?
Deport all those unlicensed lumberjacks driving around Kanto causing accidents. Does she not realize how batsh*t crazy she sounds? She does have „dead eyes“ though, a sign of someone who is not quite there.
🤣🤣🤣
she might as well add in drinking too much pocari sweat , strong zero, or breathing in too much air
She forgot to mention taking up skirt pics, groping women on the train & Yami baito…oh, my bad, these are Japanese crimes
This is appallingly embarrassing for the entire Takaichi cabinet. What a joke.
The daddy jokes about this woman are also pretty gross, by the way. The woman is a political train wreck and makes my blood boil, but have some decorum.
Those umbrella litterers, how dare they expect an umbrella to not walk away with a new owner
Ugh
The only one of these that almost makes sense is #4.
