I am hearing lots of #foreigners #business owners and other #professionals are leaving #Japan. Some are even selling their homes at a loss because they don't see a future due to the change in government and rhetoric. I predict real estate values will go down, especially outside of the core center of Osaka and Tokyo.
The Japanese government also feels that #AI and #robots can solve any labour issues, but how about capital flight and less foreign investment?
It is better to export prosperity than to import poverty into your country. Ask Europe, USA, how this has worked for them.
The USA at least has empty places out west to expand. How will Japan integrate such people? They will have to be let in slowly and in small numbers, if at all. These are difficult truths. Letting in mass amounts has always been a mixed bag of good and bad for every country that has tried it, and the list is long.
it is Japan's right to ban foreigners
Japan is not "banning foreigners". They are just being very selective about who they let in. It would probably be a worthwhile conversation to discuss the reasons why, considered over the long history of that nation and with a particular eye on Japan's broad cultural values.
