East Asian countries like Japan and China have very low birth rates. It is predicted that the population of both countries will severely plummet because there is no significant immigration to make up for the low birth rate.
It's not just bad for them, but also bad for you if you live anywhere else. With Japan and China being two of the three largest economies in the world, any economic depression they would experience would take its toll on the rest of the world.
I'm interested in immigrating to Japan. How welcoming are the Japanese of immigrants?
Jeremiah Roberts
Having lived there 3 years, I can tell you they're very welcoming of immigrants as a strict outsider group. As long as you're fine accepting you will never be considered anything but a temporary visitor even if you're there for 20 years (perfectly fine for me) it's nice.
And the economic problem is not population shrinkage but population ageing. The state will have to support a very disproportionate number of elderly citizens. If you move there, expect to shoulder that tax burden.
Kevin White
Can you get by with just English and basic Japanese?
How welcoming are the Japanese of black people? I'm specifically asking about the Tokyo area since I would assume that has the largest foreign population.
Gavin Evans
>china only reently lifted its population controls. which stopped millions of baby girls from being killed
fuck off slide poster
Christian Rodriguez
why the fuck were they killing just the females? could they really not see it coming that they would create this massive gender imbalance?
Xavier Cruz
In Tokyo? Yes, you can get by with basic Japanese, depending on your needs. If you just rent as a single guy, you'll rarely need more than simple phrases and can easily befriend other foreigners. If you want to have kids and get them into the local schools or start a company or anything like that, not having good Japanese is huge handicap.
Black people are nothing special in Tokyo. They maybe face more of the dreaded microaggressions than whites or Asians but plenty live their lives with no issues.
Oliver Jackson
In Chinese society girls don't inherit, don't carry on the family legacy and rarely become business successes.
Gabriel Fisher
Oh shit, the population is going to bomb out? But then labor costs will skyrocket and they won't be forced to work 15 hours a day just to get a livable wage and rent a shitty apartment in a city so overcrowded they literally hire people to crush passengers into trains!
And Goddamn, when the majority of the population moves out of the age range of manual labor just as automation phases out those jobs anyway, who will the government use as indentured debt-serfs? Better import the third world!
Asher Clark
I've heard that many Japanese women have no problem dating men who can't speak Japanese well. Is this true?
Also, are interracial couples tolerated in Japan? I would imagine it's more stigmatized for black men to be with Japanese women.
Juan Brooks
wow that's cruel. all the more reason China could benefit from some multiculturalism. Cultural enrichment would work well there.
Easton Edwards
The kind of women that specifically go after white men dont really care if there is minimal communication.
Ive seen guys on youtube with wives that dont even speak the same language as them, or more so very broken english communication.
If you were dating a japanese girl I figure you would start picking up japanese at a decent rate assuming you were making any attempt.
Gavin Lee
In general, only a very small percentage of Japanese women are interested in dating foreigners, especially black guys, and the vast majority of those who are interested will have learned decent English.
But because Tokyo is so vast, that tiny percentage is still a whole lot of people. Plenty of women want foreign men. You can call it objectifying or a fetish, and most of the time interracial marriages end up with a very sex-starved, unhappy husband once he's also a father, but just for casual dating it's fine.
Matthew Nelson
do they view black men from western countries the same way?
Evan Ramirez
Are you just trolling and role playing as a black guy?
Luis Martin
Good, most Chinks aren't productive
Samuel Russell
This is NOT an issue. Asians are already too numerous they're millions in too small areas, it is GOOD if they population decrease for a generation or two, they will not disappear. It is propaganda to force them to welcome niggers
Easton Rodriguez
This is a bait thread.
Charles Torres
na im for real. i grew up on japanese culture. i watched every anime and my diet is like 50% japanese. i always found japanese women to be so attractive too.
im obsessed with japan and i wanna move there lol
Michael Jenkins
Well, it's still interesting to discuss economic changes that come with an ageing population very resistant to mass immigration, even if the OP is disingenuous.
Alexander Wilson
maybe we should start planning our economy on working with negative growth instead of excess expansion
Connor Richardson
You will literally never be an equal in Japan. They don't want or need immigrants. I say this as a zairyu card holding spouse of Japanese national who speaks fluent Japanese. You will always be an outsider and so will your kids.
Jayden Roberts
Davido-kun part 2 is that you?
Zachary Hernandez
there was a time in America when only Anglo-Saxons were considered real Americans.
Multiculturalism helped change that. Anyone can be American.
Perhaps East Asian countries need to go through a similar process.
Adrian Watson
Here's the unhappy sex-starved husband I just mentioned!
Zachary Martinez
>They don't want or need immigrants
they definitely need immigrants with that aging population retiring.
Lucas Gomez
It should be obvious to anyone with a basic grasp of economics that a decrease in the workforce can only result in beneficial effects for the population. God forbid people are burdened by too much choice in where they work.
Zachary Rodriguez
and who takes the jobs that need employment b/c ppl choose to go for other more desirable jobs?
also someone has to pay for the pensions of all the old people that make up a HUGE demographic
Julian Sullivan
I can see now you're just trying to get people here riled up, but when it comes to Japan and China that's simply not gonna happen in any of our lifetimes. They have too strong a cultural identity and guilt isn't a strong tool to get them to change their ways.
In Japan, zainichi Koreans have been there for 100 years, fully assimilated into the culture, and in many cases have never actually been to Korea, yet they are still regarded as foreigners and treated with suspicion.
Camden Smith
This issue isn't with the size. It's the proportion of elderly people. If they haven't saved for their retirement, the young are fucked. If they did, the young are still fucked because they are sitting on wealth that they can't defend. Allah'u Arkbar and muh dik will come for gibs. This is already happening now.
Colton Lee
This is only true if there is no social net.
Without enough working tax revenue, the social system will collapse.
Gabriel Lewis
The Japanese birthrate has been increasing since about 10 years ago.
This is an old meme.
Jacob Miller

no trolling but since you see this as an injustice, don't you think the rest of the world should put pressure on japan to change their ways?
i mean japan did put sanctions on apartheid south africa. hypocritical much?
Oliver Barnes
>and who takes the jobs that need employment b/c ppl choose to go for other more desirable jobs?
Automation you stupid nig, it's already poised to replace millions upon millions of jobs in the developed world in the coming decades.
The proportionate value of the available tax revenue will increase over time and the costs of social upkeep will go down as technology improves and those workers are removed from the pool.
Adrian Cox
It's really not that simple. Those leaving the workforce don't simply vanish, they need to be supported by taxes. Culturally, choices in workplaces are irrelevant to the Japanese because there's a system in place that greatly discourages changing companies. If the tax burden becomes too great and the recession is too large, there won't be the capital available to pay everyone well for these desirable jobs, and there's no certainty yet that robotics will fill the gap in unskilled labour.
Immigration won't be the answer, Japan is much too wary of ending up like Western Europe. But probably there will be a couple of generations who suffer relative poverty to support the elderly.
Josiah Miller
>No links or data to back up OPs claim
Isn't China at a population boom? In the future it's predicted that megacities would be built
Jayden Stewart
Japan just followed international pressure in SA. One of Abe's ministers was in trouble a couple of years back for saying that apartheid was a good idea.
I don't see it as an injustice, I see it as a cultural difference I should have no say in changing. They should decide how to steer their own boat.
They will prioritise national identity, even if it means suffering. And that's a valid choice many on this forum no doubt wish their own countries had made.
Chase Campbell
No of course not. You're never going to have the status as a white Western male there, people will be friendly towards you but that is largely due to the polite culture. A lot of them will not want you there and you'll do your potential future kids a disservice, they will never be viewed as fully Japanese and you surely won't be.
Hunter Parker
>East Asian countries like Japan and China have very low birth rates
Stop forcing this meme.
Jaxson Allen
It really is that simple. The costs of supporting the elderly will go down, not up, and unskilled labor WILL be phased out heavily within the next three decades.
A bit sad, I guess they'll lose that cultural notion of trucks driven by sleepless employees running down children when it's overtaken by self-driving machines.
Jacob Cook
When did environmentalists switch from "overpopulation is bad" to "declining birth rates will kill us all"?

No, there wasn't. By the time their was a significant independence movement in the 13 Colonies (~1750), German, Dutch, and Africans outnumbered ethnically British colonists, which includes Scottish and Welsh and a handful of Irish colonists.
Gavin Phillips
I honestly hope you're right, but I think your vision of 30 years is a bit like Back To The Future's vision of now. The problem of too many old people will hit before automation reaches that level.
Plus the famous overworked Japanese salaryman isn't doing it because there's just that much work to do. He's doing it because that's how he looks like a keen worker to his boss. Most of it is fake busybodying, which won't change with automation.
Not the same as the jobs that will be quickly replaced, granted, but far more of Japan's workforce is white collar than blue collar.
Isaac Hernandez
that's total bullshit. in 1776 the majority of colonists were still of English descent.
you just pulled that right out of your ass.

There are 1.4 billion chinese and 127 million japanese. They aren't going to run out any time soon. Infinite growth is unsustainable.
Justin Garcia
he doesn't have to say insensitive things about black folks

Automation already IS reaching that level, it's implementation that's kept it from widespread use.
Charles Jackson

Anthony Nguyen
that doesn't take into account all the English that arrived in the 1600's with their VERY high birth rates.
Sebastian Evans
Holy shit this fucking thread again. Just because you get a different ideology flag and RP a different personality doesn't mean we don't recognize you. Fuck off retard.
Jonathan Gutierrez
I did a little Googling to try to figure out where you are getting this misconception from. Is it the Wikipedia article?
You may note that the source for their claim is from a book solely about the demographics of New England during the colonial period.
New England were the first colonies established by the British, largely under the sponsorship of the crown, primarily sending English subjects.
New England is where the ethnically English Americans lived. It'd be like saying the US is 50% black because you only looked at Atlanta.
Matthew Wood
Yes, that's what I wrote earlier. Sucks for those generations.
Lincoln Wood
by the time of the revolution there were 2.5 million ppl living in all of the colonies.
the chart you posted explains how immigration demographics were for the 1700's but there already were almost 2 million ppl living in america by the end of the 17th century.
i would strongly suspect most of those 2 million were English by ethnicity. The English puritans were popping out like 10 babies per family.
Jaxson Price
He asked for a source, care to provide one?
Isaac Bennett
>As long as you're fine accepting you will never be considered anything but a temporary visitor even if you're there for 20 years (perfectly fine for me) it's nice.
A lot of people think this is the case for Japan only.
Actually indigenous/majority race people in any country anywhere in the world will think the same way.
Maybe Japanese are more overt about it but the feeling is universal.
Juan Diaz
You can go to Shanghai for something like this.
Hudson Martin
Asians are even more anti-immigration then Americans. Unless you're both attractive and very successful they won't want anything to do with you.
William Evans
>i would strongly suspect
Nazis strongly suspect Hitler did nothing wrong. No one cares what they think because of their feels, no one cares what you think because of your feels.

They were trying to reduce their population growth rate. It was largely successful and they've stopped the program to stabilize the population for the next few decades. China doesn't want to have the US/Japanese problem of too many old people.
Jack Brooks
Then prove it.
Gavin Wood
Prove that it's never been easier to know things and never been easier to learn?
Shall I google it for you?
David Williams
China had their one-child-policy and fucked themselves over because nobody wanted girls so they either got aborted >even though disclosing information about the gender of the child is forbidden or killed after birth
Japan has a very traditional view on women and overworks their population the fact that Japan seems to have very strict laws when it comes to immigration certainly doesn't help
both nations fucked themselves over and deserve no sympathy but hey, at least Japan has their robots and China abducts young women from their neighboring countries >looking at you 'Nam
Jason Davis
>No, there wasn't. By the time their was a significant independence movement in the 13 Colonies (~1750), German, Dutch, and Africans outnumbered ethnically British colonists
You made the argument, prove it. The first federal census was 1790 and amounts of it are missing due to the war of 1812. You can only fucking guess what our demographics were in 1750. So keep making shit up and derping with your nonsense. All that shit about googling info and you didnt fucking know we don't have the data. Now go google how to kill yourself.
Leo Ward
Did you spend all this time looking up how to get a new ID, OP?
You do know that scientists and historians have found ways to make population estimates from numerous regions and eras that didn't have censuses conducted, right? Going back to before there were humans.
