Yes, Japan pushed the vax and it may be a problem for them in the future if not already. Declining birth rate is more social than physical at the moment. They have a generation of men who would rather play x-box than chase skirts. I know a couple of Marines over there. It was not impossible to date a Japanese woman back in the day, but it was not easy either. Usually the woman was like the second daughter in a family, no real prospects etc… I dated a number of Japanese's women who at 28 or 29 were considered poor marriage prospects. My friends said that has all changed a lot of Japanese women just want to date, marry and have babies.

I agree with the Japanese politician that wants to restrict immigration. But they need to be careful. Americans who have assimilated after years stationed there like to buy homes there and live between Japan and the USA. The problem is not them, they are older, and married to a Japanese. The real problem is the other immigrants who never assimilate and demand people adjust to them. Saw a few of them in Kobe earlier this year. Also saw quite a few Americans who live in Kobe and Osaka who were not attached to the military. For the most part they hated tourists and preferred to be left alone. The immigrants Japan does not want are the same ones, Poland, and Hungary do not want.
