You bring up a really good point about lax immigration in the U.S. because at least the U.S. is allowing people in at all in comparison. It’s not a perfect system (immigration law is so convoluted and there are so many ways to bypass the laws), but at least we’re not completely barring people from entering.

Something I was also thinking about were potential reasons for why Japan is hesitant to let Chinese people in. I know that during WWII, Japan occupied China because it was trying to be the imperialist/leaders of the East. After the war ended, Japan lost face, and I wonder if that has any effect on their perceptions of Chinese immigrants. Japan might not want to admit that they need Chinese help because it would mean that China has successfully claimed that title they wanted. Granted, I don’t know if this is true; it is just conjecture. This is where I would like to know more about Japanese culture and Japanese-Chinese relations to have a more informed opinion.
