Posted in: Japan finds luring businesses from Hong Kong may be tough See in context
The #1 thing that Japan could do to draw HK business would be to offer immediate permanent residence to HK nationals that agree to invest a certain amount.
That is if permanent residence has any credibility which as we now all know has no meaning at all.

Posted in: Japan's top court backs lower pay for nonregular employees See in context
This is unfair. Most of the time there is no distinction between regular and non regular workers. It is unreasonable to imagine a situation where a Japanese non regular worker refusing to do a job they are assigned just because they are not regular workers. They are all the same set of cogs in the machine.

Some unfortunately have no choice as they are too in deep with family ties. But as a current student, I have to be stupid to not look elsewhere to migrate. I really wanted to call this place home but now I've even stopped learning Japanese. I'm done.
