 To President Trump!

October 28, 2025

China is furious over President Donald Trump's October 12 announcement that he will impose 100% additional tariffs on Chinese products in retaliation for China's rare earth export restrictions.

Trump will impose 100% additional tariffs on China and restrict exports of all critical software starting November 1. Will imports of rare metals used in weap-ons be halted?

Following a series of posts and remarks by President Trump, the US-China con-flict has once again escalated in financial markets, with the three major stock indexes plummeting and concerns about a falling dollar spreading. I'm worried about the future.

China accounts for over 90% of the world's rare earth refining and magnet production. I believe that "international rules," including antitrust laws, are necessary.

China is angry over measures such as the US adding Chinese companies to the trade restriction list and imposing port entry fees on Chinese ships. I'm "con-cerned" about how things are developing.

The problem isn't that we can't supply or manufacture rare earths for Ameri-can-made EVs. My biggest concern is that rare earths are being used in Ameri-can-made weapons.

Trump says there's no need to worry. I think the Biden administration is to blame, but he's gone. Only Trump can solve this problem.

Trump should restore trade with China to the way it was before he took office. That way, rare metals would be imported and we wouldn't have to worry.

Recognizing Biden's mistake, Trump is trying to mine and refine rare metals domestically and make the United States a military superpower independent of China. However, this will take time.

The United States was once a major producer of rare earths, but the domestic industry has declined since the 1980s due to the following factors. Therefore, U.S. policy is to blame.

The main reasons the United States does not refine rare earths domestically are economic and environmental, including strict environmental regulations, high costs, and China's market dominance.

The rare metal refining process generates harmful chemicals and radioactive materials, such as uranium and thorium, which are found in the ores. It's un-clear whether the United States can solve this problem.

If not properly managed, these wastes could pollute the soil, groundwater, and air. Complying with strict US environmental regulations is prohibitively expen-sive.

Compared to China, US labor and energy costs are high, making the US less cost-competitive. Building new refineries requires significant initial investment.

I believe the "best" solution is to create a "special zone" on the Mexican border, build "rare metal refineries," and employ illegal immigrants as low-wage work-ers.

Mr. Trump, listen up! Environmental regulations should be relaxed in a small part of the "special zone." Because Americans are hesitant to work due to envi-ronmental issues, the solution is to employ illegal immigrants as "temporary immigrants."

Part 2. "Immigration Control Act Violation Cases" "Weekday Edition".

"Everyone" in the "international community" please help!

First, please read about the "false accusation" of "aiding and abetting violation of immigration law" in 2010.

❤Click below to read the full article!

https://toworldmedia.blogspot.com/

"Chapter 1". The summary of the incident is as follows.

In the fall of 2008, my company (I am the president) promised to hire "Chinese people studying abroad on student visas". I "issued" them "employment contracts" stating that "LEFCO" would "employ" them when they graduated from university the following spring.

However, after that, the "Lehman Shock" occurred in 2008.

As a result, orders for "system development" from the following year onwards were "cancelled".

As a result, "LEFCO" "cancelled" the "employment" of "those who were scheduled to join the company" in 2009.

Therefore, "they" continued to work at the restaurants where they had worked part-time as students even after graduating in 2009.

In May 2010, the Chinese were arrested for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act" by "activities outside of the status of residence".

In June 2010, after their arrest, I and the Chinese person in charge of recruitment (KingGungaku) ​​were also arrested.

The reason was "crime of aiding and abetting" the Chinese for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act (activities outside the status of residence)".

<Reason for arrest> The prosecution said that I and KingGungaku giving the Chinese a "false employment contract" constituted "crime of aiding and abetting" under the Criminal Code.

"Chapter 2". Crimes in the judgment: (arbitrary and ridiculous)

The charges in the indictment are "the very provisions" of "Article 22-4-4 of the Immigration Control Act".

If a "status of residence" is obtained by submitting false documents, the Minister of Justice can revoke the "status of residence" at his "discretion". (And the person will be deported).

Therefore, even if a Chinese person submits "false documents," it is not a crime. It is not a crime to "aid" an innocent act.

The "reason for punishment" in the judgment:

1. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" by submitting a "false employment contract."

2. And they violated the Immigration Control Act (activities outside of their status of residence).

3. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" because "we" provided the Chinese person with a "false employment contract."

4. The Chinese person was able to "reside" in Japan because he obtained "resident status."

5. Because of that, the Chinese person was able to "work illegally."

6. Therefore, "we" who "provided" the Chinese person with a "false employment contract" were punished for "aiding" the Chinese person's "activities outside of their status of residence."

This is an "error" in the arbitrary "logic of law."

This reasoning is the "argument" that "when the wind blows, the barrel maker (profits)." This goes against "legal logic" even internationally.

The "criminal reason" in the indictment cannot be a crime because the provisions of the "Immigration Control Act," which is a "special law," take precedence over the "Criminal Code," which is a "general law."

My argument:

"1": The Immigration Control Act stipulates that the Minister of Justice will revoke the act of a foreigner who has obtained a residence status by submitting false documents (Immigration Control Act: Article 22-4-4, cancellation of residence status) through "administrative disposition." That's all.

"2": The Chinese who engaged in "unqualified work activities" are not guilty. The reason is that their "employers" have not been punished for the "crime of aiding and abetting illegal employment" under Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act.

Therefore, under the principle of "equality under the law," the Chinese are not guilty.

The Japanese government has punished "diplomats and Philippine embassy staff" for the exact same "criminal reason."

However, like the Chinese government, the Philippine government is also silent.

The rest will be published in the Saturday edition.

Part 3. Special Zone Construction. A new business model.

Special Zones accept refugees and immigrants as temporary immigrant workers and limit their residence to the special zone.

Developed countries use them as low-wage workers and achieve high economic growth again.

Refugees and immigrants can get jobs and live a hopeful, humane life.

Temporary immigrants are low-wage, but "food, clothing, shelter, medical expenses, and education are free."
