Hi, Jeff! According to the Nationality Law, you son will be born with Chinese nationality as your wife and you don’t have permanent residency in the US. Even though you will get US passport for him, the embassy will just not recognize your son’s US nationality until he is 12 years old or so. So you don’t need to apply PR for him now.
