This has been a thing in Japan even before the population crisis. This has been a thing in other Asian countries besides Japan! What’s next? “Japan’s economy is so bad, they’re using paper for their doors!” Japan’s population and economic problems are apparent. Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?
Because “Japan so weird” gets the clicks
Wait… this is a game show??
My Japanese parents-in-law were matched by family and parents. Their wedding was the second the they met. They’re in their 80s now and still together.
So no, not new.
America’s economy is so bad, they use paper for their walls.
And their asses!
It has been a thing in western countries too, just less popular in recent centuries.
Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?
Every western news source out there.
We’re closer to achieving cold fusion than we are to achieving a newspaper that can write about Japan without descending into “wACkY jAPaN!!” territory.
Sounds more like the Japanese have a minumum wage and nonstandardized working hours problem than a marriage problem.
Exactly! In the article they say that if you’re working 70 hours a week of course you won’t have time to find a partner.
So arranged marriage. Kay
