Preface
With the development of transportation facilitation and the evolution of globalization, the population of all countries in the world is getting closer and closer to each other, and immigration has become an important means to alleviate the aging population of many countries.
Japan, which has a very aging population, has never accepted applications from immigrants, but they have always had a soft spot for Chinese and have always maintained an open attitude towards foreign Chinese.
So why is Japan so receptive to the Chinese? Could there be another motive behind this?

Japan is doing its best to thwart immigration
As the world's third largest economy, Japan has already stepped into the threshold of developed countries, and its development in many aspects has been extremely rapid, and it has gained a lot of attention in the international community.
Japan is also facing a fact that every developed country must face: a serious aging population.
According to statistics, Japan's aging population has reached nearly 37 million, breaking the previous world record and successfully rising to the first place in the world.
In order to maintain the enthusiasm of domestic production and the vitality of the population, many experts have suggested that Japan should learn from the ways of Europe and the United States to alleviate the aging of the population, and introduce a large number of immigrants to supplement the domestic young and middle-aged population.
However, Japan directly rejected the advice of these experts with actions, and in the face of the large number of immigration applications from immigrants every year, Japan unanimously rejected most of them, putting up its own arrogant shelf.
Japan's explanation for this is also very speechless, in order to alleviate the aging has launched a number of preferential policies, if a large number of immigrants are accepted, the original policy will not be enough to distribute, and the lives of Japanese residents can not be guaranteed.
This explanation is also really difficult for a group of immigrants who are waiting for a long time to accept, and his stingy appearance is even better than that of his big brother America.
Moreover, Japan's "arrogance" has penetrated into the bone marrow and is hopeless, and the Japanese have declared to the outside world that the Japanese Yamato nation must ensure the purity of its bloodline, but also find a sense of national belonging, and is unwilling to have foreign nationalities to immigrate and transform.
This has led to a direct loss of motivation for immigrants who still have hope in Japan, and such an almost rogue explanation is unacceptable to anyone.
This makes some immigrants wonder, why are there so many Chinese in Japan? Is there anything attractive about the Chinese?
The number of overseas Chinese in Japan has increased
According to the statistics of relevant media, the number of overseas Chinese in Japan has reached more than 1 million, and there will be a large surge every year.
In fact, there is a certain reason why Chinese expatriates have been able to pour into Japan in large numbers.
First of all, the first point is the issue of money, as Japan is one of the few developed countries in Asia, and its wages are much better than those of many developing countries, with average wages two to three times that of normal China.
The high salary has also moved many Chinese to go to Japan to work.
Secondly, due to historical problems, Japan is culturally very similar to China, and many of Japan's cultures have similarities with China, and some of them are even directly transformed from Chinese culture, and Chinese elements are still deeply left in them.
Therefore, Japan's arrogance is useless to the Chinese, and if Japan excludes Chinese culture, it is also indirectly excluding its own ancestral culture.
In addition, Japan did not have its own language in the beginning, and in many ways it was necessary to rely on gestures to communicate, and the ancient Chinese maritime sports also brought a language system that Japan had never been exposed to.
Japan has evolved over the years to get to where it is today, and it retains a lot of Chinese elements, and it is much easier to learn Chinese.
Finally, due to geographical location, Japan and China are only separated by a sea, and the distance between the two sides is very close, which also leads to a large number of Chinese choosing Japan as an expatriate destination.
To sum up, high wages and benefits, close to home, convenient language learning, and will not be excluded, for such many advantages, I believe that no Chinese who wants to work abroad will not refuse.
It is understandable why the number of Chinese expatriates in Japan will continue to proliferate, but as a Japanese government, even if China is not culturally resistant, accepting a large number of expatriates will hinder Japan's domestic policies.
So what are the reasons behind Japan's large acceptance of Chinese expatriates?
Behind the surge in overseas Chinese in Japan
In fact, in history, the mainland also had a tragic history of being invaded by the Japanese invaders, when Japan carried out a "encroachment" operation on the mainland before it invaded the mainland.
By assigning a large number of spies to the mainland at that time, Japan obtained information on the mainland's topography and military situation, so that Japan, which was not well developed in information technology at that time, could have sufficient information about its aggression.
Although the mainland's successful defeat of the Japanese aggressors has strengthened the mainland's defensive psychology against Japan, Japan no longer dares to invade the mainland's position.
But is that really the case?
According to statistics, Chinese living in Japan account for more than 60% of foreigners in Japan, and most of these people are high-end talents with higher education.
Although the Chinese people have always been the embodiment of diligence and hard work in their studies, and the number of highly educated talents in China has been the highest in the world all year round, China is also facing a serious brain drain.
The excellent scientific research environment and generous scientific research treatment abroad are not perfect in China, and there is a big gap between China and foreign developed countries in many aspects, so some high-end talents will choose to stay abroad for development.
Such a situation must be something that every Chinese does not want to face, but for the higher development of scientific research and academics, they can only live abroad.

In the face of such a situation, in fact, we do not need to worry too much, because the mainland will bring in at least 500,000 technical and academic talents every year to fill the talent vacancy.
The singular continent should also make every effort to recognize the current domestic scientific research situation, adjust and revise the deficiencies, so that every Chinese scientific researcher can smoothly return to the embrace of the motherland and contribute to the motherland.
epilogue
In the absence of the surge in overseas Chinese, we must also increase the pace of development, recognize our own shortcomings and constantly optimize and adjust, and retain our own talents with a more perfect scientific research environment and treatment, so that every Chinese can complete the ultimate source of service for the country.
