      Don't listen to this lair, Chinese government recognize the Chinese citizen's babies born on foreign soil as Chinese citizen automatically, and denies any passport issued by the foreign governments. This makes those babies possible to hold dual citizenship in reality. Once those babies reach 18, they need to make decision of keeping which citizenship. Chinese-American Actress Liu Yifei is an example, she kept her US citizenship.

    As a kid i had dual citizenship. At age 14 i got my American passport. The local Czechoslovak authorities took one look at it and threw on table saying it meant nothing. As we left in 1987 they made me, sister and our mom to sign away our Czechoslovak citizenship. So at age 15 i had to sign it away. I still hold that paper with pride. And yes, all these years later the commies are gone from Slovakia and Czech Republic, but i still resent them pushing us to leave. I am proud to be ethnically Slovak, but for me i am all in on my American citizenship.

But if they don't vote they can retain their duel citizenship. I only know this because I had a son while stationed overseas and he still is a duel citizen, he refuses to vote because he doesn't want to renounce his other citizenship.

      Yes and no. The only way I could find to keep my sons dual citizenship was if he never came to the United States. To enter the US an American citizen must enter on a US passport. To leave China on a US passport he must have a Chinese visa in it, but they won't issue a visa to a Chinese citizen just as the US embassy won't issue a US visa to a US citizen in their Chinese passport. The alternative they offer is an Entry Exit permit. To get this document we were required to renounce his hukou and have his Chinese passport destroyed. While technically he is still a Chinese citizen, by not having a hukou his access to services in China is limited. As you say you can maintain this entry-exit permit until the age of 18 with the current laws. But there is another law to look at. The nationality law has it written clearly that if the Chinese parent settles abroad, i.e. gains residence status abroad. The child loses citizenship. Of course they won't just find out about that, unless you want to bring the child back to China for a visit. The Chinese embassy will request additional information and cancel the child's citizenship when you apply to get them a visa. None if this is a secret though. You just have to dig and read the laws.

      I just had a son born on Chinese soil. My wife is Chinese. I’m a US citizen. I understand that following the normal procedures our child would have to choose between the two citizenships at age 18. Till then we could apply for a US passport and then get a 出入境许可证 (Chū rùjìng xǔkě zhèng). Officially an adults cannot hold a Chinese passport and another passport. However, I’ve heard of many Chinese people who maintain both a Chinese passport and, secretly, a foreign passport.
      I was thinking to just get the baby a Chinese hukou and a Chinese passport. We would depart China using the Chinese passport and then we’d arrive in the US using the US passport only. Would this work? Or would we always (for the rest of his life) be forced to transit through a third location (such as Korea, Japan or Hong Kong)? We really don’t want to always be forced to book to flights.
      I wondering if we get him a Chinese passport will the Chinese border officials really check to see if he has a US visa (which, of course, he cannot get as he’s a US citizen)? A friend of my speculated that the border officials will check the US passport but I’m doubtful of that. Is that the case?

      @lolturtle13 5 років тому +1

      @@BeyondBorders00 In the past there were many who kept other passports. Now the government is cracking down on this and have already stripped people of their Chinese citizenship. You could exit China through a 3rd destination. But coming back you could raise suspicion. Particularly if you overstay the visa or are missing stamps. I'm not sure what kind of punishment there is if a parent is trying to secretly keep the child's dual nationality. It isn't hard for someone to quickly flip through a passport and find a visa. I'm certain they have been instructed to check. So coming back from the US without a visa will get you questioned and likely end up with the Chinese passport confiscated unless that specific agent is inattentive or doesn't care.

    7:19 Your wife got the information completely wrong. If both of you are American citizens and you give birth to a child in China, the child will NOT acquire Chinese citizenship automatically. She's completely clueless about the differences between Hukou, passport and citizenship.
    Chinese citizenship is granted by blood (right of blood, jus sanguinis, or one drop policy). Your daughter only got Chinese citizenship because she's born in China to your wife (a Chinese citizen). If your daughter were born in the US, she would only become a Chinese citizen if your wife didn't have an American permanent residency.
    Now back to the public servant she's mad at. That public servant was 100% CORRECT. The Chinese citizenship overrides your daughter's American citizenship in China ( the home jurisdiction) simply because there is no meaningful way for the Chinese authority to establish that she has American citizenship. Your daughter has to renounce her Chinese citizenship and re-enter China to 'leave a mark' of her American citizenship on Chinese records. Btw, renouncing hukou is not the same as renouncing citizenship.
    That's why you need to do what you were doing in the video. The one time entry-exit permit is specifically designed for ppl who are renouncing their Chinese citizenship. That permit is only valid for a short period of time to prevent non-citizens from staying in China without a visa.
    All these information are readily available on the Exit-Entry Admin Bureau website...

    • @mitchchen3380
      @mitchchen3380 7 років тому +15

      China forbids dual citizenships (just like Austria and Japan) - that's why if you were born overseas to Chinese parents, you can only get a Chinese passport if neither of them had permanent residency in that country (which in most cases would entitle the neonate to a local passport straight from birth). For Chinese babies born in the jus soli jurisdictions (like the US), it is more complicated, I think you will have to waive your right to a local passport first.
      Additionally, on Chinese soil, China claims the right to treat anyone of Chinese descent as Chinese nationals and deny their right to foreign diplomatic support even if they were foreign citizens. Specifically this applies to Hong Kongers of Chinese ethnicity post-handover, where everyone, regardless of their nationality status at the time of handover, is considered a Chinese citizen.

      Most Caucasian countries (all European countries) have jus sanguinis (by blood) citizenship laws, just like China. Don't think its got anything to do with racism. It's mostly in the new world (Americas, Australia) where jus soli is the case. It's more of an old world vs new world thing. Plus, I don't believe most overseas Chinese in the new world have earned their new passports by birth right, they earned it through hard labour (just like the white European immigrants).

I'm fine with my french citizenship and proud to be french.

    When you get an American visa does that mean the IRS will start hunting you?
    I have an American friend who lives in Denmark, and he says he can't go back to America because he owns the IRS thousands of dollars. As I understood when he told me America is the only country in the world with a policy where you actually pay taxes to USA even after you are not an American citizen anymore.
    I might be mistaken, but to me it sounds really horrible.

      Actually, the taxes in American aren't bad at all. In fact, the more money you make, the more you can get away with not paying if you can find a good accountant. Your friend sounds like an idiot who never learned how to deal with paying taxes. There are many of them like that in America. Even very wealthy Americans don't understand how little they pay in taxes, or how little they COULD pay if only they consulted a tax professional.

    Your wife seems to be so happy to give up her daughter's Chinese identity. Remember if you decide to raise your daughter in China, it will be very troublesome for her to go to school and stuff. In comparison between Chinese and U.S. citizenship, the latter is much easier to apply given that the baby's father is an American. One of my British friends who married a Chinese woman registered his son as a Chinese citizen because that will be easier for his son to get education in China, and he will let his son to choose between Chinese and British citizenship until he's like 16 or 18 years old. Once you give up Chinese citizenship, it's almost impossible to get it back.

    C-milk, I can't say for your family, but to me, I may have to do some research before I apply for the Australian Citizenship. There are different rules, regulations and even tax rates to a Chinese national and a foreigner (by nationality). This is very important, if you are going to invest in the stock markets of China (which is quite an opportunity after the final adjustment that is about to come), have real estate especially those that are entitled to some government relocation grant which is not available to foreigners, or have assets under parents' name that can be inherited. Of course, if you have to make a choice right now, American Citizenship is the obvious one. That being said, I agree with most of what Harry He said.

    Although we live in U.S., daughter has U.S. citizenship and U.S. passport.
    Now when we went to the Chicago Chinese Consultant went to apply for the Q2 visa for her, as I did for myself, We were told by the Chinese Consultant that our daughter is a Chinese and will need to apply for the Chinese travel document. Seeing our daughter was born before the wife had received her greencard, by one month difference. We also needed to give our daughter a Chinese name to add tho the China Tavel Doc.
    So when we fly out of U.S. they check the daughters US passport and China travel book.
    In China they only need to see her China Travel book, and only care about her Chinese name.. as I was told when giving her US passport and American given name. China recognize her as a Chinese.
    Back in U.S. they only need to see the daughters U.S. passport.
    By her 18 bday, she will have her choice at citizenship. Not such a bad thing i suppose if true..
    Now little off subject, but other Chinese friends and my wife feel that our daughter should on documents asking race or color here in USA, should put white. I feel she should put Asian. They all feel has to do with this White privileged that Ive never seen nor experienced in the US.
    Anyways this was our experience.. The daughters travel book is up for renewal in April, only good for two yrs.. This will suck if every two years, As I was hoping for the Ten yr. visa back when we applied.

    • @ztezmaxim2683
      @ztezmaxim2683 8 років тому +8

      no. It is nothing to do with white priveledge. the American government discriminates against Asians. title IX I think. anyway, college admissions and scholarships cap the number of Asians allowed and demand higher scores under affirmative action.
      there are straight A Asians with perfect SAT scores rejected for admission to colleges. read up on it. always put white, or even Hispanic if you are willing to lie.

    • @missinglink691
      @missinglink691 8 років тому +3

      All great input about what race to put on docs. , I guess it will be a pick and choose per the situation will be. My daughter doesn't have to worry about trying to come overseas to school in U.S. and so far the wife has seen NO discrimination as a non citzen permanent resident, full time student. So thats cool... So far not a dime has come from our pocket, and she has received the Century Scholar award, the highest scholarship one can receive from the school. Yes very proud of her accomplishments!
      Either way, its good to have choices, and the daughter will be able to pick and choose her race as she sees fit and as well Citizenship when the time comes..

    Don't listen to this lair, Chinese government recognize the Chinese citizen's babies born on foreign soil as Chinese citizen automatically, and denies any passport issued by the foreign governments. This makes those babies possible to hold dual citizenship in reality. Once those babies reach 18, they need to make decision of keeping which citizenship.

    After years living in China, I would not hang out with this dude for more than 5 minutes, he's so full of himself. No sense of humor. Surprised he's not Canadian.

      Dee Donner Ramone some people are just different... i prefer people with similiar ethics/morals but different character. I thought the same when i watched the first video of him talking about hes inlaws or something.
      after seeing the duck blood video i thought he done a good job.
      also didnt like the whole calling hes baby the kid but he loves her and shes cute as hell so win win

      I thought that too, I thought his personality was so odd he had to be from Canada or maybe some strange island nation.

    That woman refusing her Chinese identity, and she has such a bad influence on her baby girl, I believe she will regret for the choice she made for her daughter someday.

      Changing nationality does not mean the child will lose the possibility to have a Chinese identity. Nationality and identity are not linked in that way. To be fair she kind of had to, China doesn't allow dual nationality, America does. If this law did not exist I'm pretty sure they would have decided to keep both. She might regret it but in the end it's her baby and her choice I'm sure they are doing what's best for the baby, most foreigner - Chinese couples choose this option.

      :( She'll prob have an easier life in the states anyway. She's not the pure blood Chinese btw... vs Her being in the states would be like," 🤔 I mean she's different... What's new?" When the baby swelled up from mesquito bites though. 😍🤗, I know this is a little random. But my kid is half asian/ half white. She too swells up from mesquito bites. The random stuff I find cute. Poor baby 🙁.

    My mum has been in your shoes. I am adopted from phnom Penh, Cambodia and she had to do a ton of papers to get me to become an American citizen. I hope everything went well ☺😊
