 To President Trump!

March 12, 2026

Onodera, chairman of the LDP Tax Commission, criticized President Trump's "15% additional tariff" as "unreasonable." He stated, "Naturally, we should demand the return of tariffs already paid." Rather than criticizing, Onodera should call for the creation of "balanced countervailing duties" and demand a policy to reduce tariffs to zero.

Onodera criticizes the "15% additional tariff" as "unreasonable," but he should un-derstand that creating "balanced countervailing duties" would enable Japan and the United States to export with "zero tariffs" in a win-win relationship.

The "countervailing duties" I advocate are a system that (for a certain period of time) offsets the balanced amount of imports and exports for each U.S. importing company, imposing "tariffs" on the "net import amount." Do you understand?

This "countervailing duties" is a policy aimed at countries with high consumer de-mand and a trade deficit, like the United States. This will eliminate the trade deficit, lower import prices, and expand global trade.

I have been researching balanced countervailing duties. When President Trump an-nounced his high tariff policy, I thought it was an opportunity. I immediately posted about it online to the White House and other organizations.

However, no one has asked about balanced countervailing duties. The Trump tariffs have only made his approval rating plummet. The Supreme Court has finally ruled them unconstitutional. Trump is in trouble.

The Supreme Court ruled the tariffs unconstitutional, pointing out that the applica-ble law cannot be applied by presidential authority. He intends to change the appli-cable law and continue with high tariffs. So there is still a chance.

I believe Trump's decision is correct. What's wrong is that there is no policy like balanced countervailing duties that would make the Trump tariffs work. Trump should understand this.

Onodera should move forward with the sales partnership between Nissan and GM. We should request the introduction of "balanced countervailing duties," so that the more GM vehicles Nissan imports, the more Nissan vehicles it can export tariff-free.

Of course, if "balanced countervailing duties" are established, Toyota and Honda can export "US-made cars" to Japan and export Japanese-made cars tariff-free. This would be a win-win relationship for both countries.

Trump should demonstrate the power of "balanced countervailing duties" with "au-tomobiles." If the "Nissan-GM" case plays out well, American cars, a "major con-sumer nation," could regain their global share.

Global auto companies import American products (cars) because they want to "ex-port" their "domestic cars" to major consumer nations tariff-free. Do you under-stand my logic?

Nissan wants to export to the US at "zero tariff." Japanese politicians criticize the "15% tariff," but they don't understand a policy that allows Japanese cars to be ex-ported at "zero tariff."

I am planning to expand global trade by balancing exports and imports. Trade defi-cit countries with high purchasing power, like America, should restrict imports with high tariffs while promoting exports with balanced countervailing duties.

I am pleased that President Trump's high tariff policy will provide an opportunity to promote exports of American products through the creation of balanced countervail-ing duties. This will put Trump's tariff policy to good use.

President Trump will visit China from March 31st and hold a summit meeting with President Xi Jinping. President Trump should explain the creation of balanced coun-tervailing duties to President Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping will welcome it. Everyone will be happy. Go America! Go Trump!

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."
