Husband and wife come from China and buy a house in Japan. Where will the future children come from?

The child is still of China nationality. Our country stipulates that citizens cannot have dual nationality. ? Japanese women give birth to children in Japan, and their nationality still belongs to China.

There is no stipulation on the nationality of birth in Japan, so if both parents are from China, the nationality of the child is also China. However, when a child reaches the age of 20, he can apply for naturalization according to his own wishes, and he can basically obtain Japanese nationality, but at the same time, it is equivalent to giving up China nationality.

Definition:

The Nationality Law stipulates the acquisition, loss and change of nationality. There are two main ways to acquire nationality: birth and naturalization. There are two international principles for acquiring nationality by birth: jus sanguinis and jus soli.

In a country that adopts the system of birthplace, regardless of the nationality of parents, children acquire nationality when they are born in their own country. In countries that adopt the principle of descent, regardless of the place of birth, the nationality of a child must follow that of both parents or one of them.

Naturalization refers to a foreigner or stateless person who obtains the nationality of a country after applying for and being approved in accordance with the laws of that country. There are also people who acquire the nationality of a country through marriage or adoption.

Because different countries have different regulations on nationality, dual nationality or statelessness often occurs under special circumstances. For example, a citizen of a country that adopts the principle of descent and a child born in a country that adopts the principle of birthplace have the nationality of two countries at the same time.

On the other hand, citizens of countries that adopt the principle of birthplace and children born in countries that adopt the principle of descent do not have the nationality of any country.
