question
grammar
can someone tell me whether or not japanese has the rule of omitting the comma,linking two different phrases like in this article i found on wikipedia
I'm not sure why you think it's 2 different phrases. There's no comma because
「鈴木商店の不良債権を抱えた」describes 「台湾銀行」. This is a very common form of description.
The equivalent in English would be something like "In order to save _**the
Bank of Taiwan that held the bad debts of 鈴木商店**_..." No comma needed in
English either.

answer
In correct terms, those are separate **clauses**.

[Clause](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clause) is a verb with its subject and
their modifiers.

Relative clause is a subordinate clause which modifies a noun.

[Phrase](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrase) is a group of words or singular
word acting as a grammatical unit. There are different types of phrases, e.g.
[nominal phrases](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun_phrase), adpositional
phrases (only [postpositional
phrases](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adpositional_phrase#Postpositional_phrases)
in Japanese), [verb phrases](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verb_phrase).

「鈴木商店の不良債権を抱えた」 is a relative clause, and it contains several phrases:

「鈴木商店の」 - postpositional phrase

「鈴木商店」 - nominal phrase

「不良債権を」 - postpositional phrase

「不良債権」 - nominal phrase

「鈴木商店の不良債権を抱えた」 - verb phrase

Above whole clause modifies noun「台湾銀行」.

* * *

In writing, after any clause or postpositional phrase (or nominal phrase not
followed by case particle), you are **allowed to put comma or to not put it**
, and there is **usually** no difference in meaning. When whole sentence or
clause is long, it is good idea to put commas after clauses to simplify
reading.

In short sentences, commas are rarely used. However the following examples are
valid:

これは、私{わたし}の、猫{ねこ}です。 "This is my cat."

寝て{ねて}いる、猫{ねこ}。 "Cat, who is sleeping." (example with relative clause)

* * *

I said earlier " **usually** no difference in meaning". When there is?:
Example:

連用形{れんようけい}/Continuative form of verbs can be used for several functions,
including combining of clauses
([中止法{ちゅうしほう}](https://jisho.org/search/%E4%B8%AD%E6%AD%A2%E6%B3%95)) and
creation of compound verbs. Commas can be added to force interpretation with
separate clauses:

書き{かき}出す{だす} is a compound verb "to write out/down, ...".

私{わたし}は書き{かき}出した{だした}。 "I wrote out/down (something)." OR "I wrote (something
1), and I took out (something 2)."

私{わたし}は書き{かき}、出した{だした}。 "I wrote (something 1), and I took out (something 2)."

* * *

Another situation when commas are useful is when omitting particle after noun
(which is rather limited to は, が, を), to prevent reading of two words as one
compound word. Examples (titles of novels):
