If a religion harmed public safety in a more direct way like shooting or suicide bombing would this case set a precedence to disband it ? Asking for a friend.

I mean you can apply any pressure, threats, or the most logical reasoning but Trump will never listen to it. In the end only three things can stop him. Congress, courts or himself.

Japan has industrialized, conquered half of Asia, resurrected from the ashes of war to become world power.
Suddenly because of a drop in muh GDP it needs to accept foreigners or die.

Despite this recent elderly American idiot's best efforts, Chinese tourists are still leading the way for title of worst manners.
Johnny Somali is not Chinese. Neither is Logan Paul. Or the break-dancers on the train. For their worst I doubt if any Chinese have tried to burn apartment blocks, like what an American kid did here three weeks ago.

Maybe we have been too harsh on Chinese tourists. American tourists, they purposely pick up fight with people, break-dance on trains for their Tiktok audience and now straight up defile an ancient structure.
