passport is issued to citizens by the state, and is used to prove nationality when entering and leaving the country and abroad. Legal ID of identity. When you go abroad, the convenience and even the amount of "privileges" provided by your passport is a true portrayal of the strength of the country and even the strength of the country.
Once upon a time, "American domineering passport, German conscience sewer" such a joke indirectly reveals the helplessness of blindly admiring the West for Chinese people.
Looking back on the past, when it comes to passports, the most praised is the United States' "dominate little passport". However, in the international conflicts in recent years, US passports are often no longer "amulets" and have become more of "death coupons". Therefore, in addition to the public-known big Vs, fewer people are bragging.
▲China's Yemen evacuation of overseas Chinese
However, I'm afraid everyone doesn't know. Now, the passport that replaces the US imperial "dominate small passport" with the highest value and is the most popular among the people of the world. It is actually our happy enemy - Japanese passport !
▲The Japanese passport "make a fortune in silence"
Recently, European and American media, who have been idle, have conducted a ranking survey called "Passport Freedom Ranking", which country's passport is enjoyable in the world The highest is the visa-free rate, and the number one ranking on this list is Japan!
▲The picture shows the "passport freedom ranking" made by foreigners
final ranking of the survey
This survey results show that most countries in the world implement visa-free policies for Japanese citizens, with a total of 190 countries and regions. The visa-free and visa-on-arrival range of Japanese passports exceeds that of Germany, France and even Singapore .
If you want to talk about why the visa-free rate of Japanese passports or developed countries is high, it mainly depends on one key factor, that is, economy!

In turn, developing countries hope that people from developed countries can invest, travel and other consumption to promote domestic economic development, so citizens of developed countries are generally exempt from visa treatment.
▲Although the quality of Chinese tourists is constantly improving at the moment
, there will still be some uncivilized phenomena
At present, the visa-free policy between China and Japan is a good example: my country's visa-free passports for Japanese people is mainly to attract capital ; However, Japan's failure to implement visa-free passports for my country is because it is afraid that too many Chinese tourists or international students will influx, causing adverse effects.
▲In order to gain a good appearance rate in the international community
Abe has been very hard in recent years
Of course, currently the visa-free rate of Japanese passports ranks first in the world. Putting aside the main factor of economy, Japan also has a good international diplomacy image. Japan has been actively supporting foreign aid and other foreign political factors.

However, ironically, although the Japanese have the highest visa-free passport in the world, The passport holding rate is relatively low among developed countries - only 25%, and Japanese people do not like to travel abroad. In comparison, in 2017, the passport ownership rate of the United States was 42%, Canada was 66%, and the United Kingdom was 76%, which is considered a different kind of "heroes are useless".

The heavy burden of life has greatly reduced the enthusiasm of Japanese people to travel abroad
. We should discuss why modern Japanese people worship and waste Japanese passports, which is a visa-free "benefit". Japan's economy has continued to decline in recent years and has not had enough money before. Second, the Japanese have gradually become "Buddhist" from the nouveau riche mentality in the 1970s and 1980s. The wave of overseas tourists in Japan twenty or thirty years ago has now disappeared.
▲After the shopping, did the Japanese aunt who was drinking beer on the streets of the United States in the 1970s and 1980s feel a sense of déjà vu?
If you enter the postmodern society, even if you are in a developed country, the daily life of ordinary Japanese people is still relatively tight at the moment when the tax on consumption taxes and other taxes are increasing.
▲In 2010, China's GDP surpassed Japan's
However, although Japanese passports are not very popular in Japan, they are very popular in the foreign "market". And this "market" with quotes is the international black market. Of course, the Japanese passport in the international black market is not a real Japanese passport, it is a fake Japanese passport.
During the last century, Japan set off a wave of overseas travel. Among them, many Japanese tourists in Southeast Asian countries are addicted to local gambling or drugs and other criminal activities, and in order to raise money to get out, they often go on the wrong path of "selling passports" - the heyday of the bubble economy, a Japanese passport, a Japanese passport In India, you can sell for an amazing price of 500,000-1 million yen! Selling a passport does not mean a dead end. Japanese tourists can get a new passport again by reporting the loss through the embassy.
▲After all the time, Japanese passports are popular on the black market
. That's it, a black industry chain surrounding Japanese passports has also been formed - Japanese people sell them and lose their passports; illegal snake heads acquire passports, and then resell them at high prices to "Big Customer".
The largest customer of fake passports is generally illegal immigrants or snakehead organizations. When these people use illegal means to transfer between countries, what they need most is a visa-free country passport, whether true or false. And the Japanese passport, which is "one book in hand, buy a plane ticket and leave at will" is undoubtedly the best choice for yellow smugglers.
has read so much, but as Chinese, Japanese passports and American passports, we don’t need to be jealous of how awesome they are. With the gradual increase in China's national strength, the "soft and hard power" of Chinese passport is also becoming stronger. In terms of "soft power", let's take the "passport freedom ranking" mentioned earlier. my country's passport ranks 71st, although it is not the top ten, but it is above the world, and there is a lot of room for improvement (I'm serious) .
"hard power", the editor doesn't do a repeater anymore. Look at the Libyan evacuation a few years ago, the evacuation of Chinese people in Yemen, and even the evacuation of Osaka airport a few months ago - although Chinese passports do not have the United States The "domineering" of Japanese passports, but for Chinese people - no matter where you are, the motherland can pick you up home, that's enough!
