Probably "French researchers invent electric chopsticks". The fact we can identify "Japan" as an entity says a lot about the cultural weight it holds. Not a bad thing.
The bad thing is that the cultural weight Japan holds is based on myths, hearsay, misunderstandings, or lack of deep insights due to the language barrier. The image of Japan in the US and to a lesser extent in Europe is very far removed from reality.

What if some of these "French researchers" are let's say Chinese citizens residing in France since finding homogenous research team is very unlikely? I'm quite annoyed with these constructions as foreigner living outside my home country when politicians/media always say Czech citizens this, Czech citizens that as if there were no residents with other citizenship affected by new laws/decisions.

Cite your sources, because there's plenty of sources that indicate health risks with high salt intake, especially later in life.
