„Wenn (die japanische Regierung) Papierunternehmen zum Thema machen will, sollte es keine Rolle spielen, ob sie Japaner oder Ausländer sind. Der wahre Grund ist der von der Regierung verursachte Hass, Fremdenfeindlichkeit (Hass auf Ausländer).“

to most people on this sub it was obvious already. the 30M requirement alone is something most Japanese companies can’t fill themselves but suddenly it is required of every foreign business owner, really makes you think

I think the law is overkill and sweeps in way way too many legitimate companies and destroys too many livelihoods, even if the stated goal of eliminating illegitimate businesses functioning as long term visa substitutes. I think that overkill is indeed being overlooked because of a lack of interest in “foreigner problems” and surely some people with real anti-foreigner sentiments.
However, this particular headline argument is dumb.
Even as a foreigner, I can start a weakly capitalized company without any legal concern. I just couldn’t use it to get a visa.
It’s such a stupid policy because the people who have made paper companies to „game the system“ (how many there were in the first place) would easily pass the very high ¥ requirement.
The LDP needs to pander to JA (Japan Agricultural Cooperatives) and Keidanren (the Japan Business Federation) who want foreign workers, while also appealing to the general public, most of whom oppose increased foreign labor. As a result, small business owners become easy targets.
JA + Keidanren = money + voters.
General public = voters.
