If you pardon my interruption - you shouldn't be so hostile and rude to people trying to convey their point. I'd say don't be rigid - be openminded and look what people want to say.
As someone who have a lot of first hand experience in Japan I must say most of "liberation" that government declare are mere declarations. This applies not just to visa or enterpreneurship policies but to most of local matters as well. And then some people are surprised - government did something so why no-one is coming?
> If what you all said was true, why do foreign enterprises profit in Japan then?
If we look at list of companies that left Japan and compare it to list of companies that succeeded, the first one would be much longer. You still need to be a part of keiretsu to operate, to open a bank account, to get rid of all those ridiculous requirements business usually fights with, and so on.
> They've opened up the gates.
That's a very strong definition of what is happening. I'd say they reduced the code from the lock from 48 character password to 24, but still keep the passphrase :)
Despite declaration of "opening", Japan still preserves all possible barriers for emerging business and protecting it's own, largely inefficient, keiretsu companies and businesses.
> But not the infrastructure or trust and safety.
While it's debatable, it's not an exclusive thing. Singapore, Hong Kong, offers better safety with significantly better taxation.
