Businessman Masaki Yuta, formerly known as the Aojiru Prince, posted on X on Feb 3 about the election's foreign worker policy, noting that the foreign worker total has surpassed 2.57 million, up 11.7% year on year. He argued this means Japanese salaries are unlikely to rise because managers can secure cheap labor, giving little incentive to pay more, and cautioned against overreliance on foreigners, urging the public to wake up.
