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.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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.
