not entirely true.
they demand yellow skinned persons who do not have a japanese/korean name to get an HRP. like some of my fellow canada-born hongkie-parents canadians.
and then
they would say first and foremost you're a chinese.
and also,
those chinese would capture you illegally abroad and say you are not allowed consular protection (not like they can do much once the chinese do you anyways).
So all in all, you all have been warned - best not to go those those illegal countries like how you avoid warzones.
