Well duh. Doesn’t that mean it’s normal because they aren’t over/under represented in the statistics?

This article basically says nothing. The screening is getting more strict, with.. no details on how.

They should keep the bar to citizens as it is and make permanent visas higher. If your whole life is in Japan then buy in, become a citizen and participate in politics. It would be a wonderful thing to see some of these folks who have been living here and contributing get citizenship.

No, you’re not going crazy. This article has a sensational headline, with little sense.
« A total of 1,446 foreign nationals had their residency status revoked in 2025, up 262 cases from the previous year, or roughly 20%, according to data compiled by the Immigration Services Agency. Most were technical intern trainees or international students, though **seven permanent residents also lost their status.** »
**Seven revocations**
Could be anything from breaking the law, to having left the country for too long.
The number is too small to make anything of, let alone such a headline.
