Are you saying China doesn't recognize its own laws?
The Article 3 of China Nationality Law holds that the country will not admit the dual nationality of a Chinese citizen. Moreover, the Article 9 of that law declares that as soon as a Chinese takes a foreign citizenship, he will automatically lose his Chinese citizenship. |
There is an exception for Chinese Citizens of HK.

And for all HRP-holding Chinese nationals, renunciation is definitely necessary because of the 15 May 1996 Explanations (see Christep's link in #43 for the text) |

//and, in principle (but there have been errors) in order to get a Chinese visa on that foreign passport) When I was checking on documentation to accompany my mother to Hangzhou, I noticed my aunt was travelling on her Australian passport. She has successfully obtained a PRC travel visa and has done some on some previous occassions also. This is despite obvious giveaways in her Australian passport stating her place of birth as Hong Kong and her local surname. I'm not sure if she was asked to submit her HKID in the process cos there will be further giveaways in her HKID ***AZ status. AFAIK she has not renounced. She has never applied for HRP tho. But I stated in no uncertain terms that she will be treated as Chinese national during such trips. I was even doubtful she would even get a PRC visa until she told me her visa history. |
In the good old days ( ~5 years ago and earlier?), there was no question asked whether HK-born foreign passport holders have HRP when they applied for Chinese visa.
These days, at least for Canadian passport holders of HK origin, if you can provide proof that you have had Chinese visas before, they will continue to give you new ones. "I am an oversea Chinese, do I need to bring my previous visa record? Yes, if you apply for your visa with a new Canadian passport, please bring both original and photocopy of your previous Chinese visa record. For other requirements, please refer to Visa Instruction." |
