Japan is watching Brussels as a warning of what happens when culture and identity are ignored.
Japan has long resisted mass immigration because it believes a nation is more than an economy, it is a shared culture, history, and social trust.
In Brussels, the de facto capital of the European Union, entire neighborhoods have changed rapidly under decades of aggressive multicultural policies.
Official data shows roughly 73 percent of children born in Brussels now have at least one foreign-born parent, fundamentally reshaping the city’s demographic future.
Large tent encampments, visible street disorder, and growing welfare dependency have become common sights in parts of the city once considered stable.
Local residents increasingly report parallel societies forming, where language, values, and laws no longer align with the host country.
Japan sees this and fears losing social cohesion, public safety, and the cultural continuity that has defined the country for centuries.
This is why many Japanese voices argue that once identity is diluted, it cannot simply be rebuilt with money or policy promises.
