Well okay, there isnt a direct quote but the Times story cites "Under a national law" (in reference to the the reeducation bit). I'll concede on it, there isnt a direct quote from a Japanese official or a law that has that language so you are most likely correct.

The money thing is troubling as well, but reeducation used in reference to a national law raised my brow.
