46 Chinese citizens apply for low-income dispute

According to international online reports: A few days ago, 48 Chinese people to take care of Japanese nationality for the reason, entered the Japanese Osaka. The 46 people who applied for the lowest living security, and 32 of whom had been approved in the week or so of the application, caused a stir in Japan's society. Let our reporter Wang to explain to you in detail. How did the Chinese in Osaka, Japan, apply to the subsistence minimum?

Journalist: Well, according to Japanese media reports, the Chinese are from Fujian province. The relatives who travelled to Japan were the two Japanese sisters and their brothers, aged 79 and 78, who were currently residing in Osaka. The mother of 3 elderly people was born in Fukuoka County, Japan, and went to China's Fujian province to live with her Chinese husband. The mother and her son returned to Japan in 1997, but their applications for Japanese nationality were rejected. Soon after her mother died, her son was sent back to China. In 2008, three brothers and sisters confirmed their kinship with the mother by DNA identification and acquired Japanese nationality. Subsequently, three people from January 2009 to February, on the basis of caring for the elderly, for their children and their children's spouses, grandchildren, such as a total of 53 applications for entry, this March, they obtained a one-year residence permit, and before June full entry.

According to the Japanese government, the local minimum-subsistence policy was intended only for Japanese nationals, but from the standpoint of international humanitarianism, Japanese laws are also applicable to foreigners who encounter difficulties in life. As long as legal information can be provided to prove that the applicant's household income and total assets do not reach the statutory minimum standard, foreigners can also apply to the township or district government departments in the place of residence.

Moderator: Since the Japanese law has such provisions, then why the incident in Japan caused a stir, and caused the Osaka government personnel questioned, what is their suspicion? Is it lawful?

Reporter: This is mainly because, in the application for entry, a guarantor for the 53 Chinese people to provide security, but after entering the country did not fulfill the promise of the 53 people to provide money and other aspects of financial support, the relevant aspect that this is also related to the collective application of the low-income incident. Osaka the Government stated that "it is doubtful whether the guarantor intends to fulfill the guarantee." Among the 48 relatives currently residing in the Osaka, 46 have filed a minimum subsistence allowance for the Osaka government, of which 32 have been approved and the remaining 14 are under review. In addition, there are 5 people living in Tokyo, do not know whether they apply for the minimum. And among these 46 people, some have only 3 days after the entry of the low-income application, Osaka the government that this is a problem, will be a second investigation of their eligibility for entry, and will be the results of the investigation before deciding whether to pay the minimum cost.

The lawyer for the Osaka Law Society, which is acting for the purpose of obtaining minimum subsistence, has denied it, but said it would be surprising to "apply for a minimum of such a large number of foreigners at the same time." "Moderator

Moderator: Since the Osaka government has questioned the eligibility of these Chinese immigrants, can they continue to stay in Japan? How will the Osaka immigration authority handle this?

Journalist: Well, according to the Osaka Immigration Administration, the immigration formalities of these Chinese people are completely free of problems, and since the relatives of these Chinese people have approved their residency status for the Japanese nationality, the problem of life after entry is not the main factor to be examined. The board also said that even if the guarantor's warranties were false, they would not abolish the residency status of the Chinese.

In the case of Osaka, according to the Japanese Law on the administration of refugees in the country, it is necessary to deny entry to persons who are likely to be burdened by national and local public bodies in their daily lives. Osaka, who applied to the Labour Department at No. 21st last month, said the immigration inspection was ineffective and asked ministry to conduct a further investigation into the eligibility of the Chinese. It is understood that the investigation will mainly revolve around whether the guarantor intends to fulfill the pledge of guarantee, to provide life assistance to these Chinese people, so it is not ruled out that the Chinese will be disqualified and repatriated.
