Japan is about to "sink to the bottom of the sea." How should hundreds of millions of people be resettled?

Japan is a small country with high incidence of earthquakes and volcanoes. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been various earthquakes and volcanoes with extremely strong influence, so their national character has a strong sense of crisis. Although they have learned from China many times in history, the pattern brought by the region is always relatively small, because the guilty conscience and rashness brought by the sense of crisis are hard to change.

1At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, because of the outbreak of natural disasters such as the Great Kanto Earthquake, the rumor that "Japan will sink to the bottom of the sea" spread all over the world and Japan, which made many Japanese very uneasy and wanted to find another home for themselves. This psychological factor is also an important reason why they dare to launch the Sino-Japanese War with the strength of the whole country.

In the subsequent World War I and World War II, Japan caused great harm to several neighboring countries and even annexed an island country called Ryukyu Kingdom. However, under the heroic resistance of the people of all countries, it did not achieve the goal of occupying a large territory, but was weakened and reduced to ruins.

But in recent decades, Japan seems to have developed again, and its population has expanded to hundreds of millions, accounting for a considerable proportion of the total economic output. Correspondingly, however, the frequent occurrence of various natural disasters in their country inevitably reminds people of a legend that spread many years ago: Japan will "sink to the bottom of the sea".

After all, China has a saying that "things have changed" since ancient times. Under the power of nature, it is very common that the sea becomes land and the land becomes the sea. At the same time, some experts said that under the action of plate compression, Japan is very likely to sink into the Mariana Trench one day in the future. Some experts also said that strong meteorological changes may trigger a large-scale tsunami and flood the whole of Japan.

Although the so-called "future" does not know when it will come, if it does happen, how should hundreds of millions of people in Japan be resettled? The answer given by the United Nations is that if Japan repents of its past crimes, it will not turn its back on it. However, despite this guarantee, there are still a large number of Japanese who have bought a lot of land abroad.
