Japan: politics, history, culture. Also covering Taiwan & the Indo-Pacific as they shape Japan’s future. For my children’s future.

China is hyping up an incident that actually began with a single opposition lawmaker in Japan who kept pushing the PM with leading questions about a Taiwan contingency.
It was a political setup.
The real problem is the Chinese Consul General who threatened, “I’ll cut your head

… that’s some wild idea.
Before his passing, Charlie once said about Japan:
“Japan has every right to remain the country of the Japanese.”
Those words meant so much to us.
Why did such a wonderful person have to be killed?
Losing him was not just Japan’s loss — it was a loss for the entire world.
A Kurdish refugee applicant who raped a 15-year-old girl and only got a suspended sentence has now been arrested again—for raping a 12-year-old girl.
And yet they shout, “Don’t discriminate!”
Protecting children must come first. Justice must be real.
Are we supposed
OUTRAGE in Japan
A foreign driver with no license left his wrecked car on the highway.
A family crashed into it — and now a child is in critical condition.
This would NEVER be tolerated if a Japanese did it.
But under mass immigration policies, ordinary citizens — even FAMILY PROFIT ALERT
Former Japanese PM Fumio Kishida’s own brother runs a company that profits directly from Japan’s foreign labor program.
For every immigrant worker hired, companies get subsidies of up to ¥800,000 ($5,500 USD).
That money flows into the “supportForeigner tourists were doing a loud live stream on a Japanese train.He pushed the elderly man who warned him.Why are there so many people in Japan who can’t follow Japan’s rules? It’s strange, isn’t it?
In Nara, Japan, the deer are a protected national treasure and live peacefully alongside humans. 
Recently, however, many foreign tourists have been violent toward these deer.
Hesomaryu, a local assembly member who has been working alone to protect them, raised his voice
To Muslims
Japan is not a suitable country for you to live in.
Here’s why…
Japan is a nation rooted in Shinto and Buddhism.
Dogs are beloved family members, living inside homes and parks with us.
Pork is everywhere — ramen, gyoza, katsudon, everyday meals.
If you can’t eat pork,
then pack your own lunch! 
If only halal is acceptable,
then bring your own bento!
Japanese parents make lunch boxes for their kids if they have allergies.
Why the hell do we have to change everything for someone else’s religion?
It makes no sense.

なんで日本なのにKyoto and Nara are drowning in tourists again.
Locals can’t even commute, and sacred temples are filled with rule-breaking visitors.
Is this what “economic recovery” looks like?
Once culture is lost, it never comes back.
It’s time to rethink Japan’s tourism policy — before it

Japanese people are reaching the limit of their anger…
“Japan is truly broken.
Out of a ¥250,000 salary, ¥60,000 is taken for taxes and social insurance, leaving ¥190,000.
No luxury — yet the money flows abroad and to foreigners.
Work hard, but never free. That’s today’s
An 18-year-old Kurdish man, driving without a license, committed a hit-and-run. A 17-year-old Japanese boy died, and a 16-year-old boy remains in a coma.
Because the driver was uninsured, the Kawaguchi City Council passed a resolution asking the national government to provide
A foreigner on a Japanese train kept shouting “I’ll kill you” while attacking a Japanese passenger. This is the reality Japan is facing. #JapanUnderThreat #StopViolence #ProtectJapan #ForeignCrime #SafetyFirst
In Japan’s narrow shopping streets, groups of Muslims block the road to pray — and locals are angry.
It’s nothing but a complete obstruction of business: customers stay away, shops suffer (except for Muslim customers, who increase).
And yet this is forced onto Japanese
When sacred deer are kicked and shrines are disrespected,
Japan itself is being disrespected.
We welcome visitors, but respect must go both ways.
And when immigration policies create unfairness,
we must rethink them—for the sake of fairness and justice.”
