Japan will be the first place where we will see this playing out. I think this will be one of the biggest social experiments of our lifetimes.

They are unofficially bringing in plenty of Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, Nepali, Thai, and Pakistani immigrants via ill-disguised migrant worker programs that have Gulf level abusive conditions

Same with South Korea and Taiwan.
