Chinese Naturalization in Japan Hits 50-Year High, Surpassing Korea as Top Source Country
Recently, the number of Chinese individuals naturalizing in Japan has reached a 50-year high, surpassing Korea and becoming the largest source country for naturalization in Japan. Experts point to key factors including economic opportunities, social security, and increasingly lenient immigration policies as the main reasons for this trend.
Statistics show that since the 2000s, more and more Chinese citizens are seeking to settle in Japan, particularly professionals in fields like technology, finance, and the arts. They perceive Japan's work environment and quality of life to be relatively high, attracting a significant number of Chinese immigrants. Additionally, cultural exchanges between China and Japan have become more frequent as bilateral relations improve.
Experts suggest that to attract more foreign talent, the Japanese government should further simplify the naturalization process and provide more support and services to enhance its competitiveness.
