Wonder if they will deny me to board the plane in Xiamen as I will leave Xiamen using my Home Return Permit (with the name CHAN/DAI MAN JOHN)?
Many thanks.
I am in the same situation, and have never encountered any problem. However, if you are flying to/from anywhere other than HKG, Chinese immigration may ask for the travel document you are using to enter or exit. Some Chinese immigration officers may flip open your other passport. I suspect they are looking for Chinese immigration stamps or visa, which can result in confiscation of HRP. Also some US airlines check-in agent may insist you need a Chinese visa before allowing you to board (at least in the past).
I usually fly through HKG and there is no issue.
