Press release: September 4, 2024
“The impact of China’s new immigrants” as told by a real Chinese person! Held on Monday, September 9th! !
*Mainichi Newspaper Event*
The Mainichi Shimbun (President and CEO: Ken Matsuki) will hold an online event titled “Impact of China’s ‘New Immigrants’ – The Behind-the-Scenes of the Rapid Increase in Chinese and the Special Demand for Tower Manufacturers” on September 9th (Monday).

A special demand for “Tower Man” is occurring in the city center, and “serious Chinese” restaurants are rapidly increasing in the city. The background is that the number of “new Chinese immigrants” who are moving from China after the coronavirus is increasing, but why are these people coming to Japan now, and what kind of lives are they living in Japan?
In fact, a rapid increase in new Chinese immigrants is occurring all over the world. In China, it is even known as “run” (originating from the fact that the English word “run” and the Chinese
romanization are the same).
However, little is known about how this is different from past migration from China, which saw the creation of Chinatowns around the world.
Therefore, we invited Mr. Yudai Masutomo, a freelance journalist who has been reporting on new Chinese immigrants since last summer, and Mr. Masato Nakamura, the representative of the “Tokyo Deep China Study Group” who explores authentic Chinese in the metropolitan area, and we will share the latest information. I look forward to hearing from you. The moderator was Koichi Yonemura, deputy director of the foreign news department of Mainichi Shimbun (former director general of China), who really loves Chinese food.
