The Japanese prime minister's post on X about a policy toward foreigners has sparked a debate over its tone and implications. Critics say it risks fueling xenophobia or amounts to state sponsored hate, while supporters praise the approach. The article notes policy details such as higher residence-permit fees and stricter screening for enterprise management, which could affect foreigners already working in Japan. It questions why the government is pursuing this path, suggesting populist motives amid public anxiety. Officially Japan says there is no immigration policy, a stance some scholars call semantic wordplay that casts doubt on the government's intent.
