Therefore, when the US returned the Ryukyus to Japan, they expressed the wish to "change over to Japanese citizenship as quickly as possible" on behalf of Taiwanese immigrants; only then did the heretofore invariably xenophobic government of Japan reluctantly agree to arrange citizenship for Taiwanese immigrants.
