  Does this mean that if you are HIV positive, Japan will deport a foreigner? This is basically what's happening by not renewing the visa of an infected person. What if a foreigner who has permanent status is positive? Do they get deported too?

  They don't get deported, their visa is not renewed when they go to renew it... a PR reviews every 5 years.

  That's a very serious problem especially if you are a foreigner. Would need to find a private clinic or doctor to make the test.

  Yep a private doctor can submit fake information to the government on your behalf if you test positive.

  Komiyama said AIDS checks are available at public health centers across Japan and are free and anonymous,

  This is only for the test, if you test positive you MUST register with the government as infected, if you are are on a visa your visa will not be renewed next time you apply. Ask your doctor they will confirm this.

  On Thursday, the firm’s new president, Shuichi Takayama, said the scandal-hit company’s management team was prepared to step down when Olympus was back on the road to recovery.

  Shareholders in Japan normally don't get involved in company business but they still have the same powers as other shareholders in other countries. Well see what happens, already two board members have quit, I guess they are going to get raked over.

  @rickvee

  sorry, woodford, but whistleblowers are never welcomed back, regardless of how altruistic the action is.

  I'm sure the shareholder think differently.

  Woodford was fired as CEO last month after questioning dubious accounting at Olympus, but he remains on the board and can only be removed by shareholders.

  JT took my yesterdays correction :)

  Woodford, who returned to Japan on Wednesday after being fired last month, has said he hopes to attend a Friday board meeting of Olympus

  Correction, he was not fired, just removed from the CEO position, he still works for Olympus and is on the board of directors, unless he quits only the shareholders could remove him.
