Reference News Network, July 16 report - According to Japan's Asahi Shimbun, on July 16, the Japanese government established the "Office for Promoting the Construction of an Orderly and Harmonious Society with Foreigners" in the Cabinet Secretariat, as a cross-ministerial organization responsible for foreigner policies. Due to the rising momentum of the party advocating restrictions on foreigners' rights and limited acceptance of foreigners in the House of Representatives election, the government also emphasized strengthening relevant measures.
On the same day, at the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Ishiba Sho stated, "Some foreigners' crimes and inappropriate behaviors, as well as improper use of various systems, have caused public concern and a sense of injustice." He listed the rationalization of entry and residence management, measures to prevent non-payment of social insurance fees, etc., and instructed to transcend ministerial boundaries, striving to share information with local governments and revise systems.
According to reports, the party that has expanded its support rate in media opinion polls has proposed the slogan "Prioritize Japanese," calling for restrictions on the inflow of foreigners, limitations on their use of health insurance systems, and stopping payments of living assistance to them. Affected by this, foreigner policies have been frequently mentioned by all parties in speeches and discussions, becoming one of the topics of intense debate. (Translated by Liu Jieqiu)
