Japan’s Nihon Keizai Shimbun reportedly said Tuesday that the Liberal Democratic Party is considering validating dual nationalities in order to promote a resurgence of intellectualism.
The ruling party has begun to revise the law that prevents the holding of dual nationalities, while discussions continue.
Act 11 of Japan’s current law prevents dual nationalities. Japanese who hold dual nationalities must choose either territory until they reach the age of 22.
After Yoichiro Nambu, an emeritus professor at the University of Chicago who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, previously dumped his Japanese nationality in favor of U.S. citizenship, consensus began building that dual nationality will eventually benefit Japan.
