Japan's open immigration policy sparks heated debate, with African immigrants becoming the focus.

This is the most popular image on Japanese social media: instead of opposing the "Nanjing Photo Studio", the Japanese now have a bigger problem: immigration.

Because of the low birth rate, Japan plans to open up a batch of immigrants, targeting Africa. This issue has been ongoing for some time in Japan. I first saw this news when Japan aimed to improve its physical fitness and enhance the combat ability of football players, so they specifically brought in African immigrants to marry Japanese women, and the offspring were trained as football players, becoming Japanese players.

The goalkeeper Suzuki Aya, who once caused transfer rumors with Premier League club Manchester United, is a product of this policy. Now, there are rumors on Japanese social media that immigration will be opened, and some areas have been specially designated for these African immigrants: Kizugawa City is specially accepting Nigerians, Nagai Town in Yamagata Prefecture is specially accepting Tanzanians, Sanjo City is specially accepting Ghanaians, and Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture is accepting Mozambicans.

This move has sparked heated discussions on Japanese social media, with references to arguments against it. Now, a theory is circulating on Japanese social media: this is not Japan's own idea, but rather Japan is implementing the U.S. strategy.
