Japan’s social insurance system is being pushed to the brink, yet foreign nationals are still allowed to tap into childbirth benefits worth ¥500,000 per child.
Why are Japanese taxpayers expected to keep paying more while the government keeps opening the door wider?
How much longer is Japan supposed to carry this burden?
Public support systems should exist first and foremost for the people who built, fund, and sustain them.
Foreign nationals should be covered by private insurance, not Japan’s already overstretched public system.

After a decade of pilots, China will launch nationwide long-term care insurance under its 15th 5-year plan—a major expansion of its social safety net aimed at stimulating the growing silver economy.
Yet policy is fragmented across regions, and without independent financing and national legal framework, the system risks depleting medical insurance funds while leaving vulnerable populations uncovered.
With disabled elderly expected to reach 46 million by 2035, Beijing must professionalise care delivery and set up unified standards. Can Beijing bridge the funding and staffing gaps to provide equitable care for its burgeoning dependent cohort?

Mayumi Kurata: I have doubts about posts calling for free birth control pills, painkillers, etc. → It only brings us closer to socialism. Instead, we should reduce social insurance premiums.

Beijing just ran a public-opinion stress test—and flinched.
After pushing “mandatory social insurance,” backlash erupted: small businesses warned closures, workers reported pay cuts, and people questioned 20k-yuan pensions for retirees while the young struggle. Days later, People’s Daily waved it off as a “misinterpretation.”
Translation: test the waters → backlash → walk-back. The problem isn’t insurance—it’s inequality and distrust in an opaque, raided pension system. 60s recap 👇

中共做了一次「舆情压力测试」，结果被反噬。
推出「强制社保」后，小老板称要关门、员工喊降薪，年轻人质疑月领2万的高额退休金与自己的拮据形成强烈反差。数日内《人民日报》改口称“误读”。
本质：先试水 → 舆情炸裂 → 收缩。问题不在社保本身，而在不平等与对不透明养老金体系的信任赤字。60秒视频👇

I find it difficult to comprehend the purpose of a #government if it doesn't focus on assisting those who are vulnerable and marginalised within society. Individuals who are economically strong and capable have the resources and resilience to take care of themselves, navigating life's challenges ‘without much’ external support. It seems imperative that a government's primary role should be to provide #socialprotection to those who cannot stand on their own, ensuring that everyone's basic needs are met and that justice prevails for all: empower them, for they have the strength to stand on their own feet with #dignity. #SaturdayVibes #thoughts #governmentroles #poverty #inequality #socialwelfare #SocialJustice #SocialInsurance
ALT This is a picture of contrasting life: cars on one side of the road, and on the other side, a man—in his bare feet —does for a living by digging trash (trashier hunter).
