Lemma 28.13.5. Let $X$ be a scheme. The following are equivalent:

1. The scheme $X$ is universally Japanese.

2. For every affine open $U \subset X$ the ring $\mathcal{O}_ X(U)$ is universally Japanese.

3. There exists an affine open covering $X = \bigcup U_ i$ such that each $\mathcal{O}_ X(U_ i)$ is universally Japanese.

4. There exists an open covering $X = \bigcup X_ j$ such that each open subscheme $X_ j$ is universally Japanese.

Moreover, if $X$ is universally Japanese then every open subscheme is universally Japanese.
