Nations also have the right to self-determination and may opt to not subsidize population growth deficits through the importation of a population. Japan gets to decide. They may decide then want to assimilate with China (or Philippines), or they may decide they want to remain natively Japanese. That's their call.
It’s not might makes right. The people who form a government and have jurisdiction through democratic government have the right to govern and be governed according to the rules they agree upon democratically.
They’re not pulling up any ladder. They made the country for themselves. Others can make their own to their own liking as well.
W/re Japan, it would be overwhelmed by Chinese, if they just let anyone in. China is big and strong enough for them to take care of their own people without needing to colonize Japan.
> The people who form a government and have jurisdiction through democratic government have the right to govern and be governed according to the rules they agree upon democratically.
Which attempts to abrogate the right to free association and movement. "People vote with their feet" is a truism that applies here as well, in my view.
> They made the country for themselves.
When did Japan first incorporate? Long before the lifetime of the current population.
> Others can make their own to their own liking as well.
Where? What if three or four Japanese people want to declare an open border, making their own to their own liking? This principle falls apart.

You specifically said you don't think people should have a right to protect their own land or have any kind of self-determination, and that outsiders should be forced upon them whether they like it or not. Therefore, you're opposed to democracy and are in favor of authoritarianism. Interesting times indeed.
