Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree that Japan is facing a population crisis. My point is that while Japan is facing a population crisis, the government's stance isn't to just open the country up to consume foreigners, that said, there is no real need to create anything to "attract" foreigners. Just remember that, when financials go under in an organizations, the foreigners are the first to go, that should be enough indication of how much the Japanese government or society "cherish" their added population by foreigners
Look at the country I live in, we are very very relax with our immigration law, in fact, Canada is known to have the most diversified culture. A lot of immigrants in this country doesn't speak a word of English at all for the same reason - its too difficult for them. We don't just go and abolish the use of English.........
