Japan allows the use of the word Taiwan on professional certification The Japanese government has changed its national certification system policy and will now allow Taiwanese professionals working in Japan to list “Taiwan” as their place of origin. The move comes after Japan updated the system by easing the easing (緩和) of rules on nationality in official licensing documentation. The change was announced by the Japan-Taiwan Friendship Parliamentarians’ League in Tokyo. The license revision covers 322 professions, including doctors and nurses. Previously, Taiwanese professionals working in Japan had to list China as their nationality on professional certifications and licenses. But the new system includes the ability to register both countries and regions.

The objects were removed as part of an effort by Colombia’s conservative government to change how the nation’s history is told in museums and schools. The judge says the objects, should be preserved in a safe place while a ruling is made on whether they should once again be shown to the public.
