My daughter was born in China and has a Chinese passport. We just got a US passport for her as well. We are in China, which doesn't recognize dual nationality. We, however, want to try to keep her Chinese passport, which means the only way to try and do this is to transit to a middle country on our way into and out of China.

If I wanted to travel to Hong Kong as my middle country how would that work? Does my daughter need a permit to go to HK for a transit, because she would be showing the Chinese agents her Chinese passport which wouldn't have a visa to go to the US.

Am I correct in that the process to do this is this:
1. Exit out of Shenzhen at the Luohu Border Crossing and show my daughter's Chinese passport. Again, does she need a visa because her Chinese passport doesn't have a US visa in it?
2. Enter into Hong Kong at the Lo wu Border Crossing and show my daughter's US passport (will they care that the passport is blank and there is no exit stamp from China?)
3. Fly out of Hong Kong to the US with her US passport.

Is it that simple?

Thanks in advance
