However, they are exempt from [[conscription in Taiwan|conscription]]. Most individuals with this status are children born overseas to ROC citizens who do hold household registration. Additionally, because the ROC observes the principle of ''[[jus sanguinis]]'', members of the [[overseas Chinese]] community are also regarded as citizens.<ref>{{harvnb|Selya|2004|pp=329–330}}.</ref> During the [[Cold War]], both the ROC and PRC governments actively sought the support of overseas Chinese communities in their attempts to secure the position as the legitimate sole government of China. The ROC also encouraged overseas Chinese businessmen to settle in Taiwan to facilitate economic development and regulations concerning evidence of ROC nationality by descent were particularly lax during the period, allowing many overseas Chinese the right to settle in Taiwan.<ref>{{harvnb|Cheng|2014|p=138}}.</ref> About 60,000 NWOHRs currently hold [[Taiwan passport|Taiwanese passport]]s with this status.<ref>{{cite news |title=無戶籍國民 返台將免簽 |trans-title=Nationals without household registration returning to Taiwan will soon be visa-exempt |last1=Chen |first1=Yuren 陳郁仁 |last2=Tang |first2=Zhenyu 唐鎮宇 |language=Chinese |date=August 16, 2011 |work=[[Apple Daily (Taiwan)|Apple Daily]] |url=https://tw.appledaily.com/headline/daily/20110816/33600621/ |access-date=October 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204215925/https://tw.appledaily.com/headline/daily/20110816/33600621/ |archive-date=February 4, 2020}}</ref>
