To President Trump!
June 2, 2025 Weekday Edition
Walmart is "expected" to raise prices due to increased costs caused by the Trump tariffs, but by introducing "balanced countervailing duties," tariffs can be reduced to zero.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said, "American consumers have felt the rise in food prices over the last few years. We want to keep food prices as low as possible." Great!
On the other hand, CEO McMillon predicted that price increases are inevitable, es-pecially for imports from China, such as electronics and toys. Check out my pro-posal!
Walmart should sell American-made products to exporters from China. To do this, the Trump administration should incorporate the "balanced countervailing duties" system that I propose into the "Trump tariffs."
As the "Trump tariffs," I propose a policy in which, if an exporter in an exporting country imports a U.S. product, the amount of imports from the U.S. is deducted from the amount of exports to the U.S. and the difference is taxed.
If a Chinese exporter who exports to Walmart imports the same amount of Ameri-can products from the United States to China, the Trump tariffs will be zero.
About two-thirds, or about 66%, of the products sold at Walmart are American products.
The remaining 33% are imported goods, most of which are imported from China and Mexico.
Walmart is the world's largest supermarket company. Walmart also purchases many products from within the United States. Walmart should purchase products from the United States and sell (export) them to countries such as China.
China's retail market is also mature, and if American products sold at Walmart are imported from the United States and sold in China, Chinese supermarkets will also be booming.
If the Trump administration creates a "balanced countervailing duty" system, busi-ness opportunities will expand. Chinese export companies should also increase their imports from the United States.
If the Trump administration creates a "balanced countervailing duty" system, busi-ness opportunities will expand. American import companies should also export to various countries such as China.
Instead of complaining about the Trump tariffs, we should balance trade and ex-pand business opportunities. To that end, the Trump administration should estab-lish balanced countervailing duties as soon as possible.
Trump places importance on automobile tariffs. Automobile companies exporting to the United States should import "vehicles from American manufacturers such as GM." Japan and other countries should import American cars as "return cargo" on "car carriers."
Trump should "strongly" promote a sales partnership between GM and Nissan on a trial basis. If successful, a sales partnership for European cars will also progress.
The Trump administration should establish balanced countervailing duties as soon as possible to balance trade. If exports and imports are balanced, tariff revenue will be zero, and this is the form of trade expansion that Trump wants.

Part 2. "Immigration Control Act Violation Cases" "Weekday Edition".
"Everyone" in the "international community" please help!
First, please read about the "false accusation" of "aiding and abetting violation of immigration law" in 2010.
❤Click below to read the full article!

"Chapter 1". The summary of the incident is as follows.
In the fall of 2008, my company (I am the president) promised to hire "Chinese people studying abroad on student visas". I "issued" them "employment contracts" stating that "LEFCO" would "employ" them when they graduated from university the following spring.
However, after that, the "Lehman Shock" occurred in 2008.
As a result, orders for "system development" from the following year onwards were "cancelled".
As a result, "LEFCO" "cancelled" the "employment" of "those who were scheduled to join the company" in 2009.
Therefore, "they" continued to work at the restaurants where they had worked part-time as students even after graduating in 2009.
In May 2010, the Chinese were arrested for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act" by "activities outside of the status of residence".
In June 2010, after their arrest, I and the Chinese person in charge of recruitment (KingGungaku) were also arrested.
The reason was "crime of aiding and abetting" the Chinese for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act (activities outside the status of residence)".
<Reason for arrest> The prosecution said that I and KingGungaku giving the Chinese a "false employment contract" constituted "crime of aiding and abetting" under the Criminal Code.
"Chapter 2". Crimes in the judgment: (arbitrary and ridiculous)
The charges in the indictment are "the very provisions" of "Article 22-4-4 of the Immigration Control Act".
If a "status of residence" is obtained by submitting false documents, the Minister of Justice can revoke the "status of residence" at his "discretion". (And the person will be deported).
Therefore, even if a Chinese person submits "false documents," it is not a crime. It is not a crime to "aid" an innocent act.
The "reason for punishment" in the judgment:
1. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" by submitting a "false employment contract."
2. And they violated the Immigration Control Act (activities outside of their status of residence).
3. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" because "we" provided the Chinese person with a "false employment contract."
4. The Chinese person was able to "reside" in Japan because he obtained "resident status."
5. Because of that, the Chinese person was able to "work illegally."
6. Therefore, "we" who "provided" the Chinese person with a "false employment contract" were punished for "aiding" the Chinese person's "activities outside of their status of residence."
This is an "error" in the arbitrary "logic of law."
This reasoning is the "argument" that "when the wind blows, the barrel maker (profits)." This goes against "legal logic" even internationally.
The "criminal reason" in the indictment cannot be a crime because the provisions of the "Immigration Control Act," which is a "special law," take precedence over the "Criminal Code," which is a "general law."
My argument:
"1": The Immigration Control Act stipulates that the Minister of Justice will revoke the act of a foreigner who has obtained a residence status by submitting false documents (Immigration Control Act: Article 22-4-4, cancellation of residence status) through "administrative disposition." That's all.
"2": The Chinese who engaged in "unqualified work activities" are not guilty. The reason is that their "employers" have not been punished for the "crime of aiding and abetting illegal employment" under Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act.
Therefore, under the principle of "equality under the law," the Chinese are not guilty.
The Japanese government has punished "diplomats and Philippine embassy staff" for the exact same "criminal reason."
However, like the Chinese government, the Philippine government is also silent.
The rest will be published in the Saturday edition.
Part 3. Special Zone Construction. A new business model.
Special Zones accept refugees and immigrants as temporary immigrant workers and limit their residence to the special zone.
Developed countries use them as low-wage workers and achieve high economic growth again.
Refugees and immigrants can get jobs and live a hopeful, humane life.
Temporary immigrants are low-wage, but "food, clothing, shelter, medical expenses, and education are free."
