Japan Needs Immigrants. So Why Won’t It Let People In?

The nationalists in the comments are very cute, but I really don't think they understand the kind of death-spiral Japan and Korea could face.
This isn't just about 'preserving Japanese culture', this is 'If half of your population is too old to work, and half of the remainder is too young, then you either need to gouge the working population harder/longer, or let the most vulnerable starve.'

Cultural cohesion is great, but:
1. Culture comes from society, not blood. You can make people fold into a national identity with moderation and policy, especially if those immigrants have kids in the host nation.
2. A rich history doesn't mean jack if you don't have the human/economic capital to build, sustain, and defend the state — doubly so now that the US is pulling back from the world stage.

Tbf, Japanese immigration is more lax than Philippine immigration, but at the same time nobody is rushing to the low wages in the Philippines. Almost a million Chinese nationals live in Japan, but they are so well integrated that they often get confused for Japanese. On the other hand, the Philippines has only around 22,000 Chinese, and they converse with the locals in English. Philippines has a net emigration of 69,000 leaving the country per year whereas Japan has around 100,000 coming into the country per year as immigrants.

Thanks for the video, Uptin!

I'd hope instead of completely turning immigration off, Japan rather invite immigrants willing to assimilate.

I think 2 tear system is needed in Japan , For labor class only work permits (like in Middle East) & citizenship for skilled, business etc people, also there should be a ie 6 month course for everyone about Japanese culture so integration is easy not like in EU/UK. & no ghetto areas.

Only East Asian and European descent immigrants should be allowed to enter Japan.

Omotenashi culture is disappearing from japan because evil globalist imported cheap labor

I have been to multiple countries and I came to understand one thing that if you give freedom of speech expression and all that rights to everyone equally irrespective of their residential status in the country, you are bound to have many nefarious actors trying to disrupt it like what we have seen in the western countries like protests for Palestine. But on the other hand you won't see anything like that from countries like UAE, Saudi, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait which have significant population of permanent working immigrants propping up their economies and same thing is with Singapore as well. When you have a diverse immigrant population you have to keep a check on them. Many abuse the freedom they got and I was so shocked to see that happening to the western countries.

Keep Japan, Japanese! There is a reason why Japan
Is one the safest country.

Maybe we should look for other solutions? Making it more attractive for people to have families?

But the other big problem in Japan is the low productivity per hour worked, in spite of its robotics. Solving the low productivity problem will at the very least buy some time.

Japan values its social cohesion and cultural unity over rapid economic growth, even if it means enduring an economic slowdown. Despite facing at least a decade-long recession, the Japanese people have maintained their well-being and are willing to accept slower growth for the country's overall good. This willingness to prioritize national stability over mass immigration reflects concerns about integration issues and societal tensions observed in other nations with high immigration levels.

If if that country really needs immigrants, why to authorities arrest them every time foreigners visit Japan. The same goes to South Korea honestly, I’d fall in love with a Japanese or Korean girl

Why would anyone go to Japan when you can go somewhere else where you can eventually get citizenship?!

They don't want immigrants because they can just use robots. But they don't have robots because immigrants build the robots. 🤔🤔🤔

China be like, wuhu wuhoho 😂

Civilization is collapsing 😊

Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (wonder obey dial dash soon tank spike scout region undo zero such). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Japan is demographically fucked if they continue this path. Let's not sugarcoat our words. There is only so much technology can do. They should start issueing more work visas to other asian countries.

Most immigrants actually want to just live an honest live and obey the law. This notion of every immigrant is somehow out there to harm white people is just false. But as we all know. You can't convice a racist that his world view is false. Just let them rant in the comments.

One possibility is offering bounties for repatriation of persons of Japanese descent now overseas.

Great channel

しょうがない

It's understandable that Japan chooses to limit the number of immigrants. They should cut down on the production of porn and also porn to be uncensored. Provide more incentives for young couples to have more babies. Adopting babies from an other countries is another option but many Japaneses won't do because they are racists.

As an Indian my answer would either straight no or be very careful in who you let in pearmently I moved to Canada in the 70s yes Canada still had immigration just like now but the good thing was that a lot of these immigrants integrated and assimilated into the mainstream society of Canada. I can't even recognise my own country it looks like a third world country luckily I had my American citizenship so I am leaving this trash Trudeau and his fruitcake government has destroyed this nation
