How has China responded to Japan's policy allowing Taiwan to be listed as a place of origin in family registries?

China has firmly urged Japan to abide by the One China principle following this policy change. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson specifically warned Japan against using 'gimmicks' on the Taiwan question and advised against sending any conflicting or wrong signals that might undermine China's position. Beijing considers Taiwan its own territory and strongly opposes any international actions that could confer legitimacy on Taiwan as a separate entity. This response reflects China's consistent stance against what it perceives as challenges to its sovereignty claims over Taiwan, viewing Japan's registry policy change as potentially legitimizing Taiwan's distinct status.
