How has Taiwan responded to Japan's decision to allow Taiwanese individuals to list Taiwan as their place of origin in family registries?

Taiwan's government has warmly welcomed Japan's policy change regarding family registries. The Taiwanese Foreign Ministry spokesperson specifically praised the decision, stating that it will demonstrate respect for the identity of Taiwanese residents living in Japan. This positive response highlights the significance of the change for Taiwanese people, who previously had to be registered as part of China in Japanese documents. The move represents an important acknowledgment of Taiwanese identity within Japan's administrative system, even as China continues to urge Japan to adhere to the One China principle.
