HONG KONG — President Joe Biden said Wednesday that U.S. ally Japan was struggling economically because of xenophobia, along with other countries, including China and Russia.

Speaking at a campaign fundraiser in Washington that marked the start of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Biden said the U.S. economy was growing in part "because we welcome immigrants."

"Think about it," he said. "Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia?"

"Because they're xenophobic," he said. "They don't want immigrants."

Japan is a longtime U.S. ally in the Asia-Pacific, and Biden has been strengthening security ties with Tokyo to counter China in the region, having hosted Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for a summit and state dinner in Washington last month.

There was no immediate reaction Thursday from Japan, which is largely on holiday this week.

Stupid to say this. Actually idiot Joe is kinda right, from experience, Japan is probably the most xenophobic and (ahem) racist countries on Earth. They are not overtly racist but are more subtle about it. But they do import a lot of cheap labor from other Asian Nations, like Philippines and Malaysia, mostly in manufacturing and construction. They are VERY strict on their work and residency visa's. Overall Xiden is wrong, economically they are stumbling because the world economy sucks and the US market sucks.

Nailed it! Asian's for the most, part are racist, but has nothing to do with anything, outside of the fact they don't have 3rd world scum sucking their economies dry.
White Europeans create, Asians copy and improve a bit at times while the rest of the world sits with a handout.

Japan's economy is faltering because of demographics -
too few young people working to support too many old people.
Japan is also a victim of its own success.
Its success in past decades made its currency rise in world markets,
making their products more expensive in world markets.
The price advantage that Japan had over America in past decades,
is now had by S. Korea, Taiwan, etc. over Japan and America.
