Japan's government, hellbent on tackling the critical issues in its society, will give municipalities money to...teach foreign residents how to properly sort our garbage 馃It's the latest expansion of an existing program that seeks to "promote multicultural coexistence."

The program will also provide subsidies for municipalities that do useful things, such as provide Japanese language education. The focus on garbage rules, however, seems to emphasize a stereotype that foreign residents can't follow simple instructions.
This sounds like the latest misdirection from the Takaichi government, which has focused on "cracking down" on "lawbreaking" foreigners instead of addressing core issues such as rapidly rising consumer prices.
