Japan family registry to OK listing of Taiwan as place of origin

Well done, Japan, in giving Free Taiwan its due.

After all this years, while Japan bashing China at the same time acknowledge Taiwan as China?

So country is 中国 and region is 台湾. Why would anyone have a problem with this?

Get rekt, China!

Expect a diplomatic protest within a few days, and a quiet reversal of the ruling,

Palestine has more UN-recognition than Taiwan province (which has none).

Awesome. You go, Japan.

Since Taiwan is an independent country hence long awaited welcome change for Taiwanese nationals.

So country is 中国 and region is 台湾. Why would anyone have a problem with this?

I think it's more like it'd be "Country / Region", so Taiwanese won't have to enter "China" at all.

It says add not substitute so instead of 中国 (nationality) a region can be added such as 台湾 so 中国台湾 which is perfectly accurate.

But the ministry has decided to change an ordinance to add "region" to the current "nationality" entry of the family registry

Sure, Japan now recognises the fathers of children in the family register. Nice compromise! Apologies TWC, overall meaning is nought. US now recognises Taiwan??? You are better at the legal detail then me. just hurly burly polticals. But fair enough. if you are taiwanese, the provincial will be used, Easy peasy. Until passport times 20yrs hence. history tells the future.

Excellent move by the Ministry of Justice.

Those born in free Taiwan absolutely deserve to have the true status of their nation recorded properly.

If this move infuriates and antagonizes the CCP and their many shills - even better.
