| 1 | To The General Assembly: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Fully Aware that Japan’s labor shortage issue was solved by China’s labor source, |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Alarmed by renewed tensions between Japan and China, a main stakeholder in the Japanese |
| 6 | economy, |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Emphasizing China’s aggressive expansion in the South China Sea, military exercises in Taiwan, |
| 9 | ongoing territorial dispute over gas fields, and Chinese-held Anti-Japanese riots in 2012, |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Concerned by an increase in the average price of Chinese labor to $5.51 in 2018, |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Cognizant that Japan's government will support companies that invest in Japanese and South-East |
| 14 | Asian factories in effort to reduce reliance on manufacturing with reliance on China, |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Conscious that in March of 2020, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stated that Japan needs to either bring |
| 17 | production back home or diversify manufacturing output to other Asian countries and elsewhere to |
| 18 | cut reliance on any one country such as china, |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Taking note of increasing discussion in the United States of America and elsewhere about how to |
| 21 | go about decoupling economies and firms from China, |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Bearing in mind that the New National Security Strategy published in December of 2022 bulked |
| 24 | the country’s military defense force, |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Acknowledging that in 2023, the DWP (Defense White Paper), approved by current Prime Minister |
| 27 | Fumio Kishida and his Cabinet, |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Noting that the DWP was the first significant action to break from Japan’s postwar policy that |
| 30 | limited self-defense funds, |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Noting with concern that failing to maintain the external Japanese labor force in Japan’s economy |
| 33 | will create a massive hole in the global economy, as it is among the top 5 most contributing |
| 34 | countries to the global GDP, |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Conscious Japan is the largest main distributor of motor vehicles, electronics/ electronic parts, and |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Aware of the current neocolonial crisis in the South-East Asian region, Japan’s relocated jobs to |
| 39 | countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar will provide a source of legal-wage jobs to countries |
| 40 | currently being extorted by other countries’ neocolonial industries. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | The General Assembly hereby: |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Encourages the UN to consider helping Japan and other countries diversify its investments and |
| 45 | workforce from China by incentivizing Japanese businesses through financial means; |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Considers outsourcing workforce opportunities and investments in japanese corporations away |
| 48 | from China and to other countries; |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Designates Japan and other countries to start decoupling themselves from China's economy; |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Asks that the UN invests in efforts to combat neocolonialism, the extortion of countries economies |
| 53 | for personal gain, by offering outsourced, legal jobs to currently affected areas; |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Calls upon the UN Conference on Economy & Finance for $50,000,000 to follow these steps in |
| 56 | order to fix stated issues. |
