The solution to Japan's problem is mass import of highly educated, non radical people who are a net positive contribution to Japanese society. India, China, S Korea are good candidates.

All 3 countries have a birthrate below replacement. Highly educated, non radical people are those not having babies to begin with.

At some point society will either reckon with its values and value raising children more highly, or generations of highly educated non radical people will keep wiping themselves from the gene pool until things balance themselves out.

Or we could just allow immigration?

This is an extremely bad idea.

It's hard to imagine two cultures less compatible. Indians would have a very rough time in Japan -- imagine being effectively ostracized and forever unable to integrate into society (and not only yourself, but also your descendants!) -- and the average Japanese won't last 10 minutes in India without having a nervous breakdown on account of unsanitary conditions, lack of personal space, interpersonal aggression, etc.

I’m not an expert by any means, but aren’t they too concerned with cultural purity to ever really consider this? I feel like they would have already started down this path if they weren’t.

China is already facing the same issue - regardless of exhortations by the CCP, people just aren't having kids.

That moves the problem around. That doesn't "fix" any problem.

Japan isn't like the USA where you can just import people of a different culture en masse and expect shit to not catch on fire

First they have to sort out all the "no foreigners" signs at restaurants and shops.

The median ages of South Korea and China are 45 and 40!

Mass immigration from 3 countries that have been invaded by Japan within the last 90 years?

Color me skeptical.

Be careful, your racism is showing.
