What change has Japan made regarding Taiwanese identity in their family registry system?
Japan has implemented a significant policy change allowing people from Taiwan to list the island as their place of origin in the Japanese family registry, instead of being required to list China. This new guideline from the Japanese Justice Ministry permits Taiwanese individuals to officially designate their regional identity in family documents. The change addresses requests from Taiwanese spouses who wish to affirm their distinct regional identity while living in Japan. While Japan still formally adheres to the One China policy established in 1972, this administrative update reflects Japan's respect for Taiwanese identity within its documentation system.
