Japan is notorious for its stance on immigration, Miyabi -- so much so, that I think many people just expect it as normal by now! The problem for other countries is the above [👆statement] - people don't like risking their job [so to speak] by false interlopers -- this is an old one! All that said, Japan's demography has tanked of late and there are not enough young people to consume as well as support the elderly -- So Japan will sooner or later start welcoming more refugees I suspect! Thank you for your article, Miyabi!
