Its one thing to not allow it. Its another to pull a taiwan and ship off people born here like they are garbage thankfully taiwan has been changing, but its been a true disgrace in the past ☹ Not a shocker on japan and china, luckily taiwan has chosen another path. ---

Taiwan is getting better- as I’ve said, when my sons were born they were not recognised as ROC citizens, even though they had a Taiwanese mother, were born here and had never lived anywhere else- they were only allowed to live in Taiwan until they turned 21. ---

Exactly. Taiwan was pretty harsh to locals without nationality and all that paperwork bullshit. Its changing. Too little, too late. But at least it is a better direction. Hope your kids got it figured out without too much hassles! ---

Yeah, it did- the same week the guy from the Foreign Affairs Police (that’s how old this was) was threatening to deport them if I didn’t register them as foreigners, the Legislative Yuan changed the law to allow citizenship to be passed down from the mother as well. ---
