Nissan has a larger sales network across Japan than Mercedes-Benz.

To everyone in the world's media　

I will provide the missing materials so please request by email.

Nissan will end production at its Oppama plant in the Tokyo metropolitan area at the end of fiscal year 2015. The Shonan plant will also end production by the end of fiscal year 2014. This will be the key to "solving" the "automobile tariff problem."

Nissan will enter into a sales partnership with GM, import GM's "Cadillacs and used cars," and use the Oppama plant as a maintenance base to gain an oppor-tunity to promote sales of "GM cars."

Nissan's management is suffering from overproduction due to sluggish sales. Nissan should sell "GM Cadillacs and the like" and use this as an opportunity to recover its performance.

Nissan has a sales network throughout Japan that is larger than "Mercedes-Benz." Nissan's salesmen are in a difficult position because they have no "cars to sell." Trump should mention Nissan and have them sell "GM cars."

The sales partnership between Nissan and "GM" is premised on the establish-ment of a "balanced countervailing duty" system by the Trump administration. This will be a "trump card" in tariff negotiations.

Nissan will export Nissan cars to the US on a car carrier. Nissan will load GM cars (Cadillacs and used cars) onto the "return ship" and import them to Japan. Trump will be "delighted."

Nissan will apply for "balanced countervailing duties" and pay the Trump tariffs on the difference between the "export price of Nissan cars" and the "import price of GM cars." The US will lose tariff revenue, but it will be a big profit.

Instead of criticizing the Trump tariffs, exporting governments and companies should export their products to the US virtually tax-free by using "balanced countervailing duties" to import US products.

The more GM cars Nissan imports to Japan, the more Nissan cars it can export to the US tax-free. If that happens, Nissan will seriously sell GM cars. Even a monkey can understand this logic.

Toyota will argue that it is unfair. Toyota cars will be more expensive than Nis-san cars in the US because they will have to pay 100% of the tariff.

If that happens, Toyota may enter into a sales partnership with Ford and start selling Ford cars at Toyota "dealers".

If that happens, Honda will complain. In the US, they will insist that US-made Honda cars should be exported to Japan. However...

Even if Honda imports US-made Honda cars to Japan, the price will be high be-cause of the cost of modifications such as "changing the steering wheel of a small car from left to right". It will be at a disadvantage in terms of price.

"#BalancedCountervailingTariffs" is not limited to automobiles. Honda will try to balance exports and imports by importing small US-made aircraft such as "Cessna".

Exporters who want to export to the US duty-free will use "#BalancedCounter-vailingTariffs" to import US products. Trump tariffs will be "effectively zero" and world trade will expand.

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.

"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)".

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."
