Exception to what? I guess I don't quite get your point.
According to the policy OP is referencing to (which, btw, I had clearly cited and explained in
post#5 and
post#23), Taiwan authorities will gladly comply to its Taiwanese/US citizens if say people request exit stamps on their US passports. Taiwan doesn't demand such dual-national citizens to produce their US passports, as a matter of fact. It's totally up to the Taiwanese citizens whether they want exit stamps on their other American passports (or not). It's not a mandatory policy nor law enforcement.

Perhaps, but not all countries are particularly bothered if their citizens hold another citizenship and passport. However, there is no point in producing two passports unless one needs to, I guess.
For the record, Taiwan is not bothered at all by citizens holding dual or multiple citizenship and passports. Unless say citizens intend to serve Taiwan as a high-ranking government officers or legislators, but I digress.
I do agree, though, there's no point to present two (different) passports at port of entry (or exit), unless laws require.

Not to overestimate your age but I assume all of this happened before

China prohibits dual citizenship while UK and Canada don't. Putting all the history aside (
), you technically and legally don't have a Chinese passport. You are not breaking or circumstancing any law when using one passport over another to your benefits while visiting or transiting another country. You respect all the governing laws and visa requirements. ^
That is quite different from dual nationals of say India/U.S., Malaysia/U.S., or China/U.S., who are exploiting or looking for legal loopholes such as
