Why does Japan accept so few refugees? BBC News
In Germany and Canada around 40% of applications for asylum are approved, in Britain more than 30%. But in Japan the number is 0.2%, and the process is gruelling. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Tokyo has been trying to find out why.

There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

At least 224 people are dead and a state of emergency has been declared after Colombia was hit by one of its largest earthquakes in years.
The death toll is likely to rise, with more feared trapped under collapsed buildings.
The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) at a depth of 103km (64 miles) in Chocó province, the country’s geological service said. It was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia.
Many of the deaths have been concentrated in Cali, Colombia’s third most populous city.

Currently, Kurds with Turkish nationality who are illegally staying in Japan while repeatedly applying for refugee status are becoming a major problem. Kurdish people are working illegally in Japan while driving luxury cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, and Lexus.
In fact, 99% of asylum seekers who come to Japan are nothing but economic immigrants like them

I will tell you why. Because Japan is only for Japanese, and people who respect our society. We have no desire to pat ourselves in the back for letting thousands of criminals and psychopaths roam free in our streets like the western world does, endangering our people and our culture.

The Japanese are selfish people who only know themselves. There are many rich countries, but why are they stingy…
You know what? It's a fact that countries that are poorer than you are receiving more refugees. Maybe because it's an island country, they are too closed and only know themselves. What's the point of being rich with money? The narrow-minded are the Japanese. Don't live like that!! The Japanese should learn to coexist with others. I'm not prepared to become a global citizen

Japan let in a pile of Iranians in the 70's when the Shah fell. The Muslims immediately set up Muslim neighborhoods , didnt try to assimilate, and worse , they destroyed the wonderfull Tokyo central.park. They took.over weekend days with massive group cookouts , their men catcalling Japanese women, RAPE, ASSAULT and MURDER skyrocketed.
Japan is a 1st world country and dont need 3rd world immigrants. Especially those with religions contrary to theirs. Japan learned its lesson, they wont repeat it.

They do not want to have the bullsh!t you have in London or Manchester in their country. Ungrateful people who want to impose their stone-age religion onto others or live of other people's work and cause trouble without benefits for the country or society. Same b.t.w. in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary. Not all nations are so idiotic.

It's sad, but every nation should have a right to prioritise the wellbeing of its citizens over the wellbeing of foreigners. They don't owe anything to foreigners. What Japan should do is make the harsh working culture more reasonable and give people greater conditions for having a decent life and raise families. Long live Japan 🇯🇵

Britain should accept more refugees if it has time to broadcast news like this.
Why are only 30% of asylum applications approved in Britain?
Get 100% approval of your asylum application in Britain before you complain to other countries!

How about changing the title to:
“Why are there so few countries providing refugee support more than Japan?”
Shouldn't we fix the cause of why refugees arise in the first place? Otherwise, refugees will continue to emerge no matter how long we stand.
Japan has long supported UNHCR as a refugee protection and support activity, and is the fifth largest contributor in the world.

Thank you for making this video.
As a Japanese, I totally cannot understand why Japan is blamed for this topic. I do want our government make it better and not change its attitude. Of course, I know it has many problems which should be fixed. For example, some of the refugees are treated like criminals in the facility. I have watched the news that a Nepali woman dead inside the facility without receiving appropriate treatment. That was a sad accident and showed current matters. But, it is also true that those who have got this kind of situation same as the Turkish guy mostly have their visa expired and do not have money to go back to their countries. Initially, they must be responsible for adoring the rules (e.g. Visa and legislation in Japan) and go back to their countries by themselves before visa lapses. Some of them are blamed that they are accommodated in the facility even though they have not fulfilled their duties. Japan does not have any duty that makes them go back to their countries by its budget. In other advanced countries like Germany and Australia, it is 100% sure and legal that makes them deported or accomodated, isn't it?

As a Japanese, I am glad to see that many countries are understanding about Japan's immigration policy. While some immigrants are good citizens, others are illegal aliens, criminals, or spies from other countries who take advantage of the chaos to try to enter Japan. This leads to a deterioration of public safety and an increase in crime. Japan protects its culture, its people, and its security by strictly controlling immigration. Immigrants and refugees are different, and it is not easy to be recognized as a refugee in Japan. Immigrants are not all good people, which is why Japan has a strict immigration policy.
@khfan4life365
January 12, 2024 at 7:43 pm
Why? Because Japan values its culture and people, things that the UK should do.
