The Good Life - 05/13/2023 - Citizen of a larger world
Great news! Emily gets to remain both American and Japanese. The Japanese government has issued her a new passport without demanding that she relinquish her American citizenship. I’m glad that she doesn’t need to choose one country or the other, and that both lives remain open to her. And kudos to the Japanese government for coming around on this sensitive point, and leaving the door open for its nationals who also just happen to be citizens of a larger world.
