FILE - In this Jan. 6, 2020, file photo, Japan's Finance Minister Taro Aso poses during a ceremony marking the start of this year's trading in Tokyo. Japan's gaffe-prone finance minister Aso came under fire, this time for praising Japan for what he says is the world's only country of single race, language and monarchy that lasted for 2,000 years - a remark that invited criticisms that he neglected Japanese indigenous ethnic group of Ainu and the reality of more racially diverse population elsewhere.
