1. They dont want to end up like Paris or Berlin

2. I won't buy AC from China, I would rather die from overheat.

3. "This is Mohamed Nazeer, he has fully integrated in Japanese society and culture"…. Shows Mohamed do Islamic prayers inside his mosk speaking Arabic and English 🙄

4. Kick the Muslims out 👎🏼

5. It does not matter what the Japanese nationalists do – the native Japanese are not having children and are slowly disappearing.

6. Japan doesn't want to become an EU country.

7. Please read about unit 731

8. Thank you, Japan. Keep your culture and society intact.

9. Immigration is just modern colonialism. Its not nationalism. Its just native people NOT wanting to be wiped out by colonist. If you call it "nationalism" then you're just showing your agenda is colonialism. Colonialism was always evil. But the impulse for conquest never stopped, it just loaded up new firmware and a new moral framework.

10. Foreign workers help many countries grow. From Japan to France, and with products like air conditioners made by global brands in China reaching markets thousands of kilometers away, today's world depends on international workers, trade, and cooperation. Respect for all communities, including Muslims and others, is important. 🌍

11. Very sensible Japan

12. Japan caught the virus .

13. Japan did just fine for thousands of years without gaijin
    Get out ! 4:25

14. If only they could make it so their nationals could live good enough to have kids.

15. so we learned nothing…kewl kewl kewl…..

16. Japan needs to stop overworking their workers (example: pushing for a 32 hour workweek with same pay as a regular work week) and needs to actually lower the costs of raising a family. With the Fertility Rate at 1.14 children per woman (well below the replacement rate) and the rapidly aging Japanese population, the only other solution is to allow for more immigration (which will allow for it's population to sustain itself and keep the Japanese economy running).

    Otherwise… good luck with losing (a projected) half of your population by 2100.

17. I wonder if anybody is gonna brand them "racist" for taking such a sovereign decision.

18. It is a lie that Japan liberated South East Asia. The Japanese slaughtered, raped, looted, murdered millions throughout Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Burma etc etc

19. Most of these nations – including my own – will regret giving the cold shoulder to immigrants as their populations decline.

20. This is like what U.S policy…
    I can see danger on this…

21. We south East Asian are respectful

22. Yet they have so many houses that are just falling down and nobody yo buy or fix them. Where is the new investment they badly need coming from. The population is in decline. God forbid they need men to join the military to defend the country

23. They have learned from the mistakes of the West.

24. Then leave lol. There wont be a Japan in a couple of decades anyways

25. Japan has a problem. They don't have enough children getting born. The population is aging fast. Their xenophobia will destroy them.

26. It’s indian administered Kashmir

27. Japan do not allow any immigration! America needs to do the same!

28. Lots of bots here….

29. Japan want immigrants to assimilate. Oddly, "enlightened" countries also demand varying levels of assimilation. "Don't throw stones when you live in glass houses."

30. Japan almost gets to have Japanese mbappe or yamal to play for Japan national football team😂

31. Don't worry Japan,every nation is hardening its nationalists stands. Each one for himself God for us all.

32. "Integration" lol. A 'Gaijin' is forever a Gaijin in Japan no matter how fluently you speak Japanese or no matter how long you lived in Japan.

33. The Japanese are polite to tourists, but their xenophobia is not to be underestimated. Watch closely, as the birth rate is unbelievably low, and their economy faces serious stress without more workers

34. Japan welcomes Indians🇯🇵🇮🇳

35. Understand the point the Japanese government needs foreign professional workers due to their aging population and again Japan doesn't accept Islam weather professional immigrants or not.👍

36. A lot of these illegal foreign workers abuse the country's lax enforcement on immigration and visitors' visa. Time for the country to get tough on these abusers. So French 24 calls this nationalist stance when a country enforces its immigration laws? Among the worst illegal offenders are from the same country as the talking head report this.

37. Japan is the perfect case study for end stage capitalism, will be interesting to see what they do as the population continues to age and the birth rate continues to fall.

38. Something tells me that rail network isnt going to bearound much longer. Orange man isn't liking the fact that China is selling millions of ACs to Europe, just sayin!

39. While I understand Japan wants to be stringent about who gets into their contry as they should… That group and its leader is such a disfavor for Japan, the fact that he really said Japan liberated Asia in WW2 tell you all you need to know about that particular group 🤡

40. The trucks in this case are Yakuza owned and operated, not political figures but they might well be paid by political figures.

41. You mean Japan isn't like the anime?

42. Not saying that Japan isn't in one of its usual anti-foreigner phase… But asking to speak the country's language to immigrate doesn't sound particularly "nationalistic" to me. How do you expect people to be part of the society if they can't even communicate?

43. Good for Japan. Big win for Japan.

44. It is funny because on social media especially from the West I always hear all of this doom and gloom, not once while I have been in Japan for months on end felt anything but curiosities and warmth from people in general. It is a bit of bs in general.

45. Well done Japan

46. Japan needs immigration to keep its economy going yet they’re very nationalist the problem is coming for all industrialized countries
