On: Japan’s business owners can’t find successors – on...

Most countries who import a lot of labor tend to specialize on a narrow profile of immigrants (Turks in Germany, Latinos in the US, Central Asians in Russia), hence they are not getting cultural continuity. The imported labor clings together and forms a distinct culture.

In this regard it would make sense to eat it up and accept population decline. Japan of 50 million Japanese is still Japan. Japan of 40 million Japanese and 40 million Filipino is no longer Japan. May still be passable country, though.

Turks make up less than 15% of immigrants in Germany.

The US currently gets more Asian immigrants than Latinos.

The US gets more legal immigrants from Asia maybe. Total immigrants I seriously doubt that

So you're confident that the melting pot will eventually cook the stew even as very little regard is given to what goes in it?

That plus rigging the statistics to display much more favorable numbers.

It may be different than it is today, but Japan is Japan regardless of how many people live or do not live there. Also, I do not follow why it makes sense to "eat it up and accept population decline"; can you elaborate?
