 To President Trump!




May 7, 2026

The People's Daily, in an editorial, harshly criticized US foreign policy as "#predatory hegemony" and a "#rule-breaking" practice that exploits both allies and adversaries. I believe the Trump administration "should proactively change its approach."


The newspaper condemned the US "#high tariff policy" and "#intervention" in the "#Iran situation" as "#hegemonic." Today, I offer a feasible proposal regarding the US ##high tariff policy.


Regarding the US #high tariff policy, I propose the creation of a "#balanced counter-vailing duty" to avoid criticism of "mutual tariffs" and a "uniform 10% tariff."


I believe that balancing "#exports and imports" is essential for expanding trade and sustaining global trade.


Therefore, to eliminate the "#trade deficit" and balance exports and imports, coun-tries should be allowed to impose tariffs on "#net imports" (the amount obtained by subtracting exports from imports).


I call this tariff system on "net imports" the "balanced countervailing duty." Importing countries should impose tariffs on "net imports" for a certain period for each importer (including trading companies).


To ensure "sustainable trade growth," exporting countries need to expand trade by importing products from importing countries. President Trump and President Xi Jinping should share this principle.


President Trump should discuss the creation of "balanced countervailing duties" with President Xi Jinping. If "trade deficits" persist, "world trade" will shrink due to a vi-cious cycle of tariffs.


Expanding "world trade" is a desire for global prosperity. Countries should strive to balance "exports and imports." The concrete measure for this is the creation of "bal-anced countervailing duties."


Based on these principles, "balanced countervailing duties" should be established not only in the United States but in countries around the world. The introduction of "bal-anced countervailing duties" will undoubtedly lead to an increase in global trade vol-ume.


Regarding "#US-China trade," the US should develop "#American products" for ex-port to China. China should develop "American products" for import from the US.


To export to China, the US should manufacture "#American products" at a "#product price" competitive with Chinese products, but this is difficult because the "#wage gap" creates a "#product price gap."


20% of US workers are employed in "#manufacturing," but wage cuts in manufactur-ing are unacceptable. The US should employ "#illegal immigrants" in unskilled, un-popular manufacturing processes.


If a "#special delay (#industrial zone)" is built on the Mexican border, "illegal immi-grants" are accepted as "#temporary immigrants," and their residence is restricted to the "#special zone," the "#security problem" will be solved.


By employing "temporary immigrants" in "special zones" at lower wages than in Chi-na, as "low-wage workers," it would be possible to manufacture products not only for the domestic US market but also for "exports" to China.


The Trump administration should abandon conventional concepts and promote "free trade." By establishing "balanced countervailing duties," America will become strong-er. 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."
