The number of young Chinese enrolled in the art schools in Japan has shot. It’s a springboard to stay

by

For some time to this part Japan has been living A arrivals boom from abroad. We do not talk only about tourists, since a percentage of the people who arrives do it with the bags to stay. In fact, a nation stands out in these statistics. The Chinese are traveling in mass to not return due to economic opportunities and socio -political challenges themselves. That is why, many young people are aiming at the university to study art. Art as a way for residence. Chinese migration to Japan is reaching unprecedented levels. It We have recently: With the flexibility of Visa requirementsthe migratory flow from China has expanded beyond the wealthy elite, also covering to the middle class. Moreover, it is estimated that by 2026 the number of Chinese citizens residing in Japan It will exceed one million. This increase is transforming not only the demographic structure, but also the culture, lifestyle and educational systems in Many Japanese cities. And within this phenomenon, a group has gained particular relevance: Chinese art studentswho see in Japanese universities an opportunity to establish themselves permanently in the country. The case of Li Yalin. Nikkei told him The weekend with an example. Li Yalin, a 28 -year -old girl, reflects the trend. After obtaining his degree in China, he moved to Japan in 2019 to study Japanese at a language school in Tokyo. However, the pandemic forced her to return to her country. Determined to return, he approved the entrance exam at the University of Arts of Kyoto remotely and today resides in Japan, specializing in Videogame characters design. Raised in a middle class family in Guangzhou, Li grew immersed in Japanese culture, especially through video games like Pokémon. Now he has achieved work in a video game company in Tokyo, where this spring will begin to work. With just a few years in the country, he is already evaluating his way to The permanent residence. A growing phenomenon. The number of Chinese students in the main art universities in Japan It has increased exponentially. He Nikkei study revealed That there are currently 245 Chinese students at the University of Arts of Tokyo, 462 at the University of Art of Musashino, 448 at the University of Art of Tama, 692 at the University of Arts of Kyoto and 823 at the University of Kyoto Seika. In total, Chinese students represent 70% of international students In these universities, which reflects a clear migratory pattern that links education with long -term residence. The 2017 inflection point. He counted the medium in his analysis that the phenomenon It took strength in 2017when the Japanese government relaxed the requirements To obtain permanent residence. The measure was especially beneficial for international students, allowing them to request residence in just one to three years, instead of the five required above. Not just that. Politics is part of the “Cool Japan” initiativewhich seeks to boost the Japanese cultural industry, such as anime, design and video games. As a result, facilities have been implemented in obtaining work visas for foreigners in these sectors, which has made careers animation, design and video games into quick accesses to permanent residence. How they get the residence. Apparently, Japan evaluates residence applicants through A point system which takes into account the academic level, work experience, annual income, age or mastery of the Japanese language. Those who reach 70 points are classified as “highly qualified professionals”, while those who exceed 80 points can request permanent residence In just one year. Ren Junying, 30, is Another successful example. Originally from Hebei, he completed a doctorate at the University of Arts in Tokyo and now works as a jewelry designer in the Japanese capital. Despite having less than a year in the labor market, it has reached 90 points in the evaluation system, which will allow you to obtain residence shortly. Chinese migration and labor structure. Japan has a unique massive hiring system of recent graduates, which facilitates international students to find employment more efficiently than in other developed countries such as the United States or Europe. As a result, the number of Chinese with permanent residence in Japan has grown 40% since 2017, reaching 330,000 in June 2024. Not just that. Permanent residence too benefits spouseswho can obtain unrestricted work visas. In recent years, the number of people under this category has increased significantly, even more strengthening the Chinese community in Japan. Universities such as “Migrant” springboard. Nikkei explained Cases such as the Coach Academy, a preparatory school for Chinese students in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has seen an increase in the registration of young people seeking to enter Japanese art universities. Yang Kailin, 25, arrived in Japan in April 2023 to prepare for a postgraduate degree at an University University. “My goal is to work for a Japanese toy company and, if possible, obtain permanent residence,” I assured the environment. The school introduced an art course in 2015 with just 10 Chinese students. Today, the figure has exceeded 200. Plus: a new phenomenon has emerged. Chinese parents are the ones who drive their children’s migration to Japan. In this regard, an employee of a preparatory academy pointed to the environment that he saw “more enthusiasm to study art in Japan by parents, rather than the students themselves.” The reason? If a student obtains the permanent residence in Japan as a highly qualified professional, Your parents can also benefit of a possible migration. Chinese migration expands. It We counted recently. Japan’s appeal as a migration destination is not limited to art universities. In a context where the Chinese economy shows signs of stagnation and increasing unemployment, many young people seek Alternatives abroad. In fact, the growth of the Chinese community in Japan is transforming the social structure of the country, where the combination of flexible immigration policies, labor access and a high standard of living have turned the Nation into an attractive destination for those who seek stability outside China.

This exclusive Netflix thriller competes in intensity and brutality with ‘John Wick’ and is already number 1 in 27 countries

by

The most hardcore fans of action cinema can become as demanding as those of the most cinephile genres: That is why the choreographies, the edition and the rhythm of any new film that premieres of their favorite style examine the millimeter. And that’s why films such as ‘Kill Bill’, ‘The Raid’ or ‘John Wick’ are contributed: it is not easy to satisfy them. I may Netflix has found the key To do so with ‘Oni-Goroshi: City of demons‘, a frantic and violent epic of extreme action that has perched on the number 1 of platform views in 27 countries. The reasons are clear: a clear and linear argument that gives rise to innumerable sequences of action shot and edited with a taste that we do not usually see very often in the exclusive of streaming. The film is based on the manga of the same name as Masamichi Kawabe, and introduces us to a retired hired killer who lives with his family. But When your last mission fulfills, the consequences are unpredictable: A group of criminals murders his family. Given dead, he will undertake a devastating revenge 12 years after the tragic facts. And although the result does not reach the category of total classics of the genre commented above, the result is brutal and frantic enough (especially in its initial stretch, when it adopts a more realistic and dirty perspective) to justify the tremendous success it is having. In times of scarcity, films like this ‘Oni-Goroshi’ show that the quality action cinema is far from dying.

Impulse for the demand for the electric vehicle. Without a doubt, the most complex objective of the plan is given as The demand for the electric vehicle.

Catalonia wants to make the purchase of electric vehicles more affordable through aid, although it does not detail what they will be.

To do this, a credit line with “advantageous conditions” for SMEs will be developed. The Generalitat’s own fleet will be electrified, and the price of electrified vehicles will be bonus. Improvement of the perception of the electric vehicle. A somewhat more ambiguous plan is to improve the current perception of this type of vehicles. Catalonia will invest in campaigns to “sensitize citizens”, as well as the business sector. Lead the industry.

The focus on attracting foreign investment, promoting pilot tests of new technologies and talent promotion and promotion. Enhanced with the private. The plan contemplates “effective” governance by coordinating with the private sector. The electric vehicle table will be created, composed of public administrations, private agents of the industrial and energy sector, and mobility companies (recharge points installers, software development, etc.) It is also intended to digitize the procedures to the maximum and reduce the administrative burden to facilitate and decentralize competences. A great ambition, difficult execution. The Catalan government has put an ambitious initiative on the table, which intends to triple the penetration rhythm of the electric vehicle, fold the deployment of load points and favor 150,000 enrollments of electrified vehicles.

How many Palestinian prisoners are there in Israel’s prisons and why their number has doubled since the start of the war in Gaza

by

Image source, Getty Images photo caption, Most of the Palestinian prisoners released on the first day of the truce were women and teenagers, many of them detained without charge. Item information 30 Palestinian prisoners for every living Israeli hostage and 50 for every female soldier. It is the crude arithmetic of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, which provides for the release of Israeli hostages held by the Islamist militia in exchange for a yet-to-be-defined total number of Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli prisons. In the first phase, Hamas must release 33 kidnapped people and Israel 1,900 prisoners. The first exchange took place on Sunday and allowed 3 hostages – Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari – and 90 Palestinians held captive in Israel (the majority without having undergone a trial), to regain freedom and be reunited with their families. The next exchange is expected to take place on Saturday, January 25. Hamas captured 251 hostages on October 7, 2023, mostly civilians, when it attacked Israel by surprise, killing about 1,200 people. Of them, about 90 remain in the hands of the Islamist militia, although it is not clear how many have died. The Israeli retaliation on Gaza has left almost 47,000 Palestinians dead in 15 months of war, many of them women and children. It is not the first time that Israel agrees to release detainees and prisoners in exchange for hostages. In a truce agreed to in November 2023, the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to release 240 prisoners, mostly teenagers detained without charge, while Hamas released 105 hostages. In the past, the price that Palestinian militias have placed on kidnapped people has been much higher. In 2011, for example, Israel agreed to release more than 1,000 prisoners in exchange for a soldier who had been held captive by Hamas in Gaza for 5 years, Gilad Shalit. The numbers are high and, on occasion, Israel has agreed to release prisoners who were serving long sentences for organizing terrorist attacks that caused numerous deaths. But many others of those released in the exchanges are people who are in what is known as “administrative detention”, for which they have not been accused of any specific crime and who are in prison without a trial date. These detentions, which can last for months or even years, add to the lists of the Palestinian prison population in Israel, which has doubled since the beginning of the war, according to various human rights organizations. Currently, some 10,200 Palestinians are imprisoned in Israeli prisons, according to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Detainees and Former Detainees Affairs. More than a third of them have not been tried and almost all have been subjected to the authority of military courts. Over the years, the UN has been highly critical of Israel for its treatment of Palestinian prisoners, stating that entire generations have endured “arbitrary, widespread and systematic deprivations of liberty under Israeli occupation.” Image source, Getty Images photo caption, Jalida Jarrar, from the leadership of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was one of the prisoners released in the first exchange. She had been arrested at the start of the war in Gaza and was in administrative detention. Arrest campaigns Before the start of the war, the UN put the number of Palestinian prisoners at around 5,000, including 160 children, according to the report presented in June 2023 by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967. , Francesca Albanese. Of those 5,000, about 1,100 were detained without charge or without having been tried. However, since October 7, these numbers grew exponentially to exceed 10,000, according to human rights organizations. Addameer, an organization that supports Palestinian prisoners and their families, puts the number of Palestinian prisoners at 10,221 “following the extensive arrest campaigns carried out by the occupation authorities against various segments of the Palestinian population.” Among them there are 88 women and 320 children. Israel assures that these arrests are part of anti-terrorist operations that target members of Hamas in the West Bank. Of the total figure, “the current number of administrative detainees exceeds 3,400, along with more than 3,464 detainees from the Gaza Strip, among whom there are more than 1,886 detainees under the law on ‘unlawful combatants’,” adds Addameer. , which means “consciousness” in Arabic. The NGO uses data from the Israeli Prison Service, which manages Israeli prisons, and from prisoners’ families. These statistics do not include all Gaza detainees who have been subjected to forced disappearance, lawyer Tala Nasir, who works with the organization, tells BBC Mundo. The law on illegal combatants was passed in Israel in 2002 and defines this figure as “any person who has participated directly or indirectly in hostile activities against the State of Israel, or who is a member of a force that perpetrates hostile acts against the State of Israel.” “, but that he is not entitled to the status of prisoner of war contemplated in international humanitarian law. For Addameer and other human rights organizations, the fact that the number of prisoners has doubled since the start of the war shows that Israel “uses detention as a tool of repression and control against Palestinians, as well as a form of collective punishment.” aimed at putting pressure on Palestinian political parties during prisoner exchange negotiations,” the organization says. Israel classified Addameer as a “terrorist” organization in 2021 along with five other Palestinian human rights groups, a designation that both the UN and other international human rights bodies rejected. Image source, Getty Images photo caption, Different human rights organizations denounce that Israel uses arrests as a “tool of repression and control against Palestinians.” administrative detention Administrative detention is a procedure that allows the Israeli army to hold prisoners “without charge, without trial, indefinitely, under a secret summary, so there is no fair trial, no guarantee and sometimes no trial at all.” explains the Palestinian lawyer.
