There are different kinds of private clubs operated by Chinese people nowadays in Tokyo. Some of them are restaurants, but they don’t take reservations, and it’s only for those members or the friends of those rich people. There’s another kind — for example, it’s attached to a resort office. These resorts, like the one in Hokkaido and so on, are not open to the public.
Also, because of Minister Takaichi’s recent statement, Japan and China might even break off diplomatic relations. Rich Chinese people who live in Japan now may not plan to go back to China anymore.
Some anecdotal bits, many Chinese immigrants are concentrated in a few wards of Tokyo. One English-language edition of a Japanese newspaper quoted a Chinese woman complaining that there were too many Chinese in her neighborhood. In a related issue, a fair number of less wealthy Chinese immigrants have enrolled their children in local public schools. The niece of one of my wife's acquaintances is a public primary school teacher who told her aunt that about 20% of a recent class was Chinese with limited Japanese capability. This is not very good for the education of both the Chinese and Japanese students. We'll see how this works out over the next decade.
Really interesting stuff. I'm interested in understanding the current economic situation in Japan. Why do many immigrants from China believe it will be a period of prosperity again?
Ditto - Really interesting stuff. Also curious how the Japanese justify more open immigration. Is it seen as a solve for the aging population problem? Or are there other factors at play ?
this is so interesting🤯🤯:

Interesting stuff. Would love to read more on why the Chinese believe that there is a second coming of a Japanese golden age
I found your comment very interesting. Thank you.
Japan is making its visa rules stricter.
