Renho unlikely to change Japan's 'one China' stanceThe prospect of a "half Taiwanese" becoming Japan's prime minister has created much hype in Taiwan. Yet whoever leads the Japanese government, don't expect any major changes to Tokyo's stance on the "one China" principle. The local media coverage of the election of Renho to lead Japan's main opposition Democratic Party (DP) has been heavily focused on her possession of "Taiwanese" citizenship. Reportedly, she failed in an attempt at the time to renounce her Taiwanese citizenship after a mix-up. The new head of the opposition has said she has now submitted an application to renounce her Taiwan citizenship.
