I mean, if Japan is the world's future, isn't that kind of... good? It's not the first place I think of when I think of a failing country.

Japan is not without problems related to a shrinking population i.e. https://eastasiaforum.org/2026/05/21/japans-immigration-poli...

but it's a problem easily solved by just letting in more immigrants.

>but it's a problem easily solved by just letting in more immigrants.

right on cue. it's a Pavlovian response at this point, isn't it?

now please provide one example of a country that had "easily solved" its demographic decline via immigration.

Japan is already accepting immigrants! It's right there in the article I linked! It's just a question of raising the quota slightly.

It's hardly going to solve every problem, it will keep restaurants from closing.

"allowing to enter the country" and "accepting" are two very distinct things.
