There are currently many people from mainland China in Japan. Many are students and workers.
But to the mainland Chinese, there are other countries they want to move to, more favoured than Japan.
The man who invented instant noodles in Japan was a Japanese citizen from Taiwan. He had a Japanese name. It is difficult to know they came from other countries if they look like Japanese and speak like most Japanese.

Japan is open to immigrants from all over the world. I personally know quite a few naturalized Japanese citizens originally from China. It's incredibly easy to apply for Japanese citizenship, but it takes longer to become a permanent resident.
The second richest man in Japan, Masayoshi Son, has ancestors from North Korea.
There is no demographic crisis, complete nonsense.
Brainwashing by the leftist myth of diversity.

Massive exchange of migrants is quite not too ordinary. There are multinationals already from Europe, Americas, and hopefully even the Middle East(A separate area of focus among alien culture). I don't feel like UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Kazakhstan, Morocco are another galaxy.
Not clear that the Chinese and Koreans would want to immigrate to Japan in large numbers. Japan has a long history of xenophobia especially against Koreans. In the past for instance some Koreans living in Japan adopted Japanese names to better assimilate into the work force.
Both the Chinese and and Koreans see better economic possibilities in places like the Philippines where the cost of living is much lower than Japan. The major funding for the commercial building boom in places like metro Manila and upscale home construction come from Chinese and Korean investors.

There are pretty much 3 routes/tiers to emigration for these two groups:
1) The "West" - namely the US, Canada and Australia. Great in the past, probably not so much anymore. Leading countries in most areas, better off health wise and also financially (social security system). Drawback is potentially discrimination and cultural difficulties adjusting. However, benefits would hugely outweight any costs associated.
2) Lesser developed parts of Asia: Possibly better/easier enviro for making fat profits but a much lower level standard of living, possibly and likely need to send kids off to the West
3) Japan: Developed Asian society but less welcoming at least until very recently for foreigners. Possibly easier to assimilate especially for Koreans. Harder to get rich and dominate via small business and markets in Japan and sophistocated and developed.
Considering all the protests going on in Hong Kong, perhaps Japan should open up the country to unlimited immigration from Hong Kong? 7 million potential Chinese immigrants would enrich Japanese society.
No. Japan doesn't want HK people because like some HK people, some Japanese hate immigrants. Japan hates violence too and prevent violent foreigners. Some hate the Japanese Brazilians even their ancestors came from Japan. In fact, Japan shuts itself from foreigners more than HK. Foreigners from developed countries earning high income are common in HK but the best pay jobs in Japan belong to the Japanese people only. Some HK protestors with discrimination views are like the right wing people of Japan. Discriminating people in HK, they shouldn't expect no discrimination when they move overseas, because discrimination also exist.
Some Japanese and HK protestors hate the poor mainland Chinese and south Asian immigrants. But immigrants from poorer places are willing to work the hard and low pay jobs most Japanese and HK people not interested in.
Anyway, Japan is too small to accept large number of immigrants. Also the jobs for foreigners or immigrants and the amount of wage in Japan are not attractive to HK, Macau, Brunei and Singapore Chinese. The work culture is too serious and demanding for someone from a Chinese culture.
Maybe pro Japan Taiwanese not proud of Taiwan would choose Japan than their home island as wage in Japan can be higher and everything more developed than Taiwan.
Why would SKoreans ever want to immigrate to Japan en masse? What a weird idea.
Given the current political climate (where Koreans are boycotting Japanese goods en masse), and the hatred towards Japanese government is at an all-time high, I don't see this happening any time soon.
Plus, Koreans already enjoy a high quality of living, even better than the Japanese in some aspects. They recently ranked the highest in all of Asia, surpassed the Japanese on median income GDP per capita (note, both Korea and Japan have small, nuclear families).

They also don't have to worry so much about radiation or earthquakes.
I can't speak for Chinese, but I'd think they would be far happier staying in China than moving to Japan and facing much discrimination.
