In this Nov. 28, 2018, photo, lawyer Shoichi Ibusuki, center, attends a press conference on the problems in Japan's technical intern program, with Eng Pisey, right, Cambodian technical intern and Huang Shihu, left, Chinese technical intern in Tokyo. Ibusuki, lawyer specializing in labor cases and supporting victimized foreign students and interns, called the internship program as a disguise to use trainees as mere cheap labor and should be scrapped and replaced with the new program underway. Japan is set to approve legislation that would officially open the door to foreign workers to do unskilled jobs and possibly eventually become citizens.
