1. So he wants slaves and not workers.

   “Companies often explain that they hire foreigners because their wages are lower”

2. >These expenses have always existed, but the amounts have reportedly continued to increase.

   A journalist would have asked whether this increase is due to increasing benefits for the workers or due to the Yen’s fall. A reporter who is useful to the status quo might not.

3. As the yens continues to weaken vs euros and usd, not sure it will work soo well

4. As long as there is someone who is willing to get hired with peanuts salary, the companies won’t stop abuse it. Most of the companies that pays peanuts are usually black companies that always gets away with everything when problem occurs because labour law in Japan doesn’t really protect workers.

5. this is just slavery

6. Doesn’t make sense. Still cheaper than hiring a local.
