Taipei, Feb. 17 (CNA) The Taiwan government on Monday thanked Japan for allowing Taiwanese nationals married to Japanese citizens to list their home country as "Taiwan" in the official family record database.
Previously, individuals had to select "China."
Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) said the new rule, set to be implemented in May, would now "correctly" identify Taiwanese people in Japan and help protect their rights, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said in a press statement.
Taiwan government statistics show that about 800 to 1,000 Taiwanese people marry a Japanese national every year.
