<< Now, I just wish that the immigration policy would be much more open so that Japanese people can move freely to America.
I think Japanese, even if after they get a degree from the US, most of them voluntarily go back, not because they have to, but because they choose to. They can stay like other foreign students, get a job, and change the visa, but most of them choose not to. Their honor of the nationality, the urge to make their own country stronger, etc. just overcome their own personal interest. I think this is one aspect of the so-called Asain culture (maybe I should say Eastern Asian culture, because Southern Asia (India) has completely different culture, and the same old civilization). It is a shame for me to admit that, most of Chinese who are studying in the US do not have the same strong honor of nationality, or maybe just not as patriotic as most of Japanese. Of course, there are more Chinese brainpower now going back to China, but in terms of percentage, it is not that significant.
Geographic environment of Japan and Korea contributes a lot to their cohesiveness as a nation, I think. |
