Not so funny for Japan considering that immigration is the only way they can handle their rapidly aging population.
I hope they can get their decade old humanoid robot research fast enough to production, otherwise i really don't see how they can provide for their population while having to care for 35% to 40% of the population that is over 64.
And since it does not look like it, the realization that migrants are not sub humans and actually quite value will hit hard.

On the general theme, I loved the book

I saw this kind of behavior when I worked for a Korean company here in the US.
They treated us like animals. I thought I had seen the worst working conditions possible during my time in Haiti.
But the two years I spent working for the Koreans showed me that I lacked a great deal of perspective regarding just how poorly employees can be treated.
And they treated their visiting interns even worse. Students would fly in from Korea and rotate in/out every six months. Those kids were put through the wringer.
