中國研修生被曝在日本遭受壓榨

The abuse of Chinese trainees in Japan is rampant as many of them are forced to work overtime and under unsafe conditions, according to a recent TV program that aired in Japan.

近日日本播出的一檔電視節目揭示，中國研修生在日本遭欺壓的現象普遍，他們中的許多人被迫加班或在不安全的條件下工作。

The interns gained working access in the country under Japan's Technical Intern Training Program, the original aim of which is to train people from developing nations with skills they can use back home.

這些實習生通過日本的技能實習生培訓項目獲得在日工作許可，該項目的最初目的是爲來自發展中國家的人培訓他們可以回國用上的技能。

However, many Japanese companies used the plan as a way to get cheap foreign labor, forcing them to work extremely long hours without paying adequate wages.

然而，許多日本公司將這個計劃作爲獲取廉價國外勞動力的方式，強迫他們超長時間工作，卻不支付相應報酬。

According to Japan's Ministry of Justice, there were nearly 200,000 technical trainees in Japan as of the end of 2015, an increase of 15% from the previous year.

日本司法部稱，截至2015年年底，日本共有近20萬名技能實習生，較前一年增長了15%。

China was the largest source of interns, with 46.2% of the total, followed by Vietnam and the Philippines.

中國是其最大的實習生來源國，來自中國的實習生佔據了總數的46.2%，其次是越南和菲律賓。

A record 5,803 foreign trainees went missing in 2015 while working in Japan, sparking concern that many may have remained in Japan as a source of black market labor.

2015年5803名國外實習生在日本工作時失蹤，人數創下新高，引發其中許多人可能仍滯留日本成爲黑市勞動力的擔憂。

But due to the country's shrinking and aging population, the Japanese still plan to expand the intern training program.

但由於日本人口在不斷減少和老齡化，日本人仍然計劃擴展其實習生培訓項目。
