I agree (as you hinted at) that a new approach to encourage immigration needs to be made.

Except that's a major issue due to Japan's current xenophobia towards immigrants, it is one of the major reasons they are trying to use Robots in several major positions.

It would require a different mindset on outsiders.

Both the Commies and the KMT were holding out for the civil war after the Japanese War. The KMT had well trained and equipped divisions who could stand against the Japanese but they spent most of the war doing nothing, same for the Commies. We hear more about the corruption and inn ineffectiveness of the KMT because the western allies had to deal with them more than the Commies.

See this is what I don't get, isn't Ameriphilia a thing in Japan (not Okinawa, but "mainland" Japan), at least among the 25% or so of the population under 30 years of age?
