I don't see the hypocrisy here, they're not taking a principled stand in favour of immigration by threatening to boycott the UK if they stop allowing immigrants, they're warning the UK that their business there may be unprofitable if they no longer have access to cheap labour.
- alva 10y agoThe warning itself, over concerns that their investments will suffer is totally fair. The hypocrisy however as I see it is that Japan is asking us to make a specific sacrifice for economic growth, that it absolutely will not do itself on principle.
