To President Trump!
2026-09-28 [Today's Proposal] Now that global trade policies are heading toward "equilibrium," "Equilibrium Offset Tariffs"—a system that balances imports and ex-ports by imposing tariffs on the net import amount (imports minus exports) per im-porter unit—is the only key to resolving trade deficits and exchange rate distortions. Come on, let's spread this voice of transformation worldwide right now and build the future of new trade together!
1[A New Proposal to Fundamentally Transform Trade Equilibrium] I strongly propose to the world the introduction of "Equilibrium Offset Tariffs," a system designed to bal-ance imports and exports by imposing tariffs on the net import amount (imports mi-nus exports) per importer unit. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
2[Liberation from the Curse of Trade Deficits and Exchange Rates] If imports and ex-ports are completely balanced through this net import taxation system, trade deficits will disappear, consumers' tariff burdens will vanish, and exchange rates themselves will become meaningless. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3[Transition from Free Trade to Trade Expansion and Equilibrium] It is a very wel-come development that countries around the world are not just relying on zero tariffs, but are making efforts toward both trade expansion and equilibrium. (Yasuhiro Naga-no)
4[The Trend of Managed Trade Born from the US-China Summit] The US-China summit talks in May 2026 promised tariff reductions in non-sensitive sectors, taking a practical step toward a trade balance adjustment mechanism. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5[Bilateral Management Mechanisms in Non-Sensitive Sectors] The movement to-ward managed trade targeting US consumer goods and Chinese energy products shows the exact same direction as my concept of "Equilibrium Offset Tariffs." (Ya-suhiro Nagano)
6[How to Make Trump Tariffs Function Properly] Trump tariffs should be used to eliminate trade deficits rather than as mere threats, and if combined with "Equilibri-um Offset Tariffs," American consumers will wholeheartedly agree. (Yasuhiro Naga-no)
7[A New Win-Win Connection Between Importers and Exporters] If importers such as Walmart promote the export of American products in return, imports from China can be welcomed with virtually zero tariffs, greatly pleasing the markets of both nations. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8[The True Trade System the Trump Administration Should Learn] Now that global trade is moving toward import-export equilibrium, the Trump administration itself should deeply study the "Equilibrium Offset System" and take immediate action to-ward its creation. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
9[The EU's Step to Set Minimum Import Prices] The mechanism of minimum import prices introduced by the EU against Chinese EVs is a realistic defensive measure to curb unfair subsidy competition and protect market order. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10[South Korea's Strict Blocking of Dumping at the Border] South Korea's constant monitoring system for circumvention and supplier disguise, fully operational from 2026, completely aligns with my philosophy of suppressing unbalanced imports. (Ya-suhiro Nagano)
11[Japan's Established Anti-Dumping Circumvention Prevention System] Japan's prompt application of surcharges through the revised Customs Tariff Law suppresses unfair imports and powerfully maintains fair competitive conditions for domestic in-dustries. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
12[A Philosophy Completely Consistent with the Latest Global Trends] The successive defensive measures taken by the EU, South Korea, and Japan prove that my advo-cated "Equilibrium Offset Tariffs" are the cutting-edge trend in global trade policies. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13[The Power of the Equilibrium Offset System as a Global Standard] The "Equilibri-um Offset System," which uses tariffs on net imports as leverage to mandate import-export equilibrium, is the next-generation global standard that will rescue the world from deficits and imbalance. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
14[A New Economic Truth Appealed to the World] World leaders and the media should quickly understand this great logic: once imports and exports are balanced, both deficits and exchange rate distortions disappear. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
15[Realizing Deficit-Free Trade Worldwide Now] The future of deficit-free trade with-out tariffs is in our hands. Everyone, let's cross borders right now and build this new trade order together! (Yasuhiro Nagano)

1. Weekday Edition (Logical Contradictions in Immigration Law Violation Cases - Chapters 1-2)
Part 2: The Immigration Control Act Violation Case [Weekday Edition]
Japan’s judicial system and immigration administration involve severe human rights violations that challenge international standards. Through my own experience, I strongly question Japan's status as a constitutional state governed by the rule of law.
Please first read how I was wrongfully implicated in a case of "Aiding and Abetting the Violation of the Immigration Control Act" in 2010.

[Chapter 1] Case Overview
Autumn 2008: My company (where I serve as President) executed an employment contract with Chinese students holding student visas, promising to hire them upon their university graduation the following spring.
Late 2008: The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy triggered a global financial crisis, resulting in the abrupt cancellation of our upcoming system development projects.
2009: Due to the severe economic downturn, we were forced to rescind the job offers. Consequently, the graduated students had no choice but to continue working at the restaurants where they had been employed part-time during their studies.
May 2010: These former Chinese students were arrested for "Activities Other Than Those Permitted Under the Status of Residence" (Violation of Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act).
June 2010: I and our Chinese recruitment manager were also arrested. The charge brought against us was "Aiding and Abetting" (under the Penal Code) their unauthorized technical employment.
The Prosecution’s Logic: The prosecution asserted that our prior issuance of the employment contract constituted a "false document," which subsequently aided their unauthorized work.
[Chapter 2] Fatal Flaws in Judicial Interpretation
This indictment and subsequent judgment completely disregard fundamental legal principles, relying on an entirely arbitrary interpretation of the law.
Under Article 22-4, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Immigration Control Act at that time, submitting false documents merely granted the Minister of Justice the authority to revoke a residency status as an administrative disposition (leading to deportation). The act of submitting false documents itself was not codified as a criminal offense. Logically, one cannot be convicted of "aiding and abetting" an act that is not a crime in itself.
The court’s reasoning followed a convoluted chain of causality:
A residency status was obtained via a false employment contract.
The individuals resided in Japan based on that status.
Consequently, they engaged in unauthorized part-time work.
Therefore, the issuer of the initial contract aided and abetted the unauthorized work.
This is a far-fetched, flawed causal link that completely violates the principles of modern legal logic.
[My Argument]
Confusion of Administrative Dispositions and Criminal Penalties: The Immigration Control Act explicitly designates the consequences for false documentation as administrative measures (revocation of status and deportation). The legal process concludes there.
Absence of a Principal Offender: The actual employers of the restaurants where the students worked were never prosecuted for "Encouraging Illegal Employment" (Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act). Under the principle of equality under the law, it is a legal contradiction to punish us for aiding and abetting when the principal employers themselves were not prosecuted.
This same flawed legal doctrine was later improperly applied to diplomats and embassy staff.

Part 3: A New Business Model via Special Economic Zones
I propose the establishment of "Special Economic Zones" designed to accept refugees and migrants as "temporary migrant workers," with their residency restricted to these designated zones.
This framework offers a dual benefit: advanced nations secure low-cost labor to drive economic growth, while migrants receive human dignity, secure jobs, and free access to housing, food, healthcare, and education.
