<div dir="ltr">Dear Professor Josephs, <br><br>Korea's law regarding dual citizenship has recently changed. Now under limited circumstances, dual (or multiple) citizenship is allowed. Japan officially still does not recognize dual citizenship for adults over 22 or those past two years of obtaining foreign nationality although the law is not strictly enforced.<br>
<br>Yours, <br>Miyabi Yamamoto<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/10/2 Hilary K Josephs <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hkjoseph@law.syr.edu">hkjoseph@law.syr.edu</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma">Based on previous discussion of the presence of "foreigners" (including ethnic Chinese) in Korea, would it be safe to infer that Koreans are just as ethnocentric as the Japanese? May one also infer that most of the ethnic
Korean population in Japan came to the country involuntarily? By involuntarily I mean forcible removal, not in search of better economic opportunities. As I recall, Korea, like Japan, is a country which does not recognize dual nationality for its citizens,
in other words, if you obtain nationality elsewhere, your Korean nationality is automatically revoked.</font></div>
