„Ehrliche Ausländer werden aus Japan verschwinden, und böse Ausländer werden bleiben und grassieren … Die dumme Politik der ‚strengeren Visabestimmungen für Unternehmensführung‘ basiert auf emotionalen Argumenten und schadet den nationalen Interessen Japans.“

IMO the title of this post sums it up perfectly.
Stating the obvious, but it’s nice to see it getting more traction at least.
why is there only two options? such a fucking brain dead dichotomy
One thing I don’t really understand though, is that I was labouring under the misunderestimation that during crucial immigration processes, the officials here would at least make cursory checks with their foreign counterparts, with regards to things like criminal records?
Does this mean that they don’t actually bother with that sort of thing?
If there’s anything we can learn from the past few decades of Japanese political history, it’s that they probably will not do any u-turns
Is this article talking about me, albeit quite delayed? PhD in a tech field and working experience in 5 countries and 5 F500 companies. I couldn’t get a loan in Japan and was rejected for my PR. Left Japan, bought an apartment in Tokyo in cash just 10 months later, now have liquid savings of 1.5 oku yen. Will return when I hit 2 oku yen.
That’s it, isn’t it? This won’t hurt bad people doing bad things to make money because they have a shit ton of money! This will hurt only small business owners who work hard and have a dream to build something and belong somewhere. It’s the dumbest, most short sighted thing I’ve witnessed in a long time. It makes no fucking sense.
Like, did they think bad actors would be intimidated by this? Most criminal enterprises make a lot of money. That’s WHY people do crime.
Did they honestly believe this would just lead to Tech companies and the like flocking to Japan to earn less money?
I really have a hard time understanding just why this was the choice they made.
My thoughts exactly. The Yakuza, foreign crime syndicates, wealthy crooked businesses local and foreign, etc… all have deep pockets to keep gaming the system. This is just a minor speed bump for them, but for hard working honest entrepreneurs, this is a mountain to climb.
Not sure why we need to compare good and bad foreigners. The distinction does not exist, we are all different. Harsher policies is making it harder for people to stay. If they can, it means they either have: huge material means or are well integrated I side the culture already.
Do we need another X guy creating a private school to teach nothing to our children? I don’t think so honestly. The country has been too leniant and welcomed a huge amount of teachers, yet it has done little to the country as a whole.
Life is a cycle, leave some room for people to retake their ground and they will open again later.
They don’t care, they’re racist, and don’t want them here, anybody here.
especially in a stagnant economy.. you want investment not to deter it
There are so many old Japanese who want it to be like it was 20 years ago, where they want the foreign population to be English teachers, hostesses, entertainers and wage slaves if you’re off-white, and they should all know their place.
