China really needs to do something to change their laws. Even if China doesn't allow dual citizenship, it should at least offer a special visa for people with Chinese blood. The British people have this, and it is called ancestral visa. I don't care if I don't get Chinese citizenship, but I think I am entitled to a 户口, and residence permit. It is just ridiculous to treat overseas Chinese the same as 鬼佬. It's also quite unfair that Hong Kong citizens can have as many citizenships as they want, while main landers cant. My parents were both born in China, but also both citizens of the ROC, but since they immigrated to 鬼佬 lands, then they can't be Chinese citizens anymore, despite being 100% 汉. I am also 100% 汉, but have no entitlement whatsoever to Chinese citizenship. Not even a long term visa. I have been able to get an ROC passport because they are much more leniant to 华侨, but still this doesn't help me in the main land. My mother is more fortunate because she has an ROC 户口, and therefore can get a 台胞证. So basically, she can do whatever she wants, but I can't. Also I wonder what these people mean by "close relatives" who are Chinese, because my mother is considered a Chinese, especially since she has a 台胞证. What about relatives in HK, and Taiwan? Do they count as "Chinese relatives" because I have tons of those. My grand mother is also buried in the main land.
