How can you get a China passport to be a China citizen?

Chinese nationality law operates mainly on the basis of jus sanguinis ("right of blood"). You must also remember than China does not permit dual citizenship. In general, when a person is born in China, that person is a Chinese citizen if he or she has at least one parent holding Chinese citizenship, or if both parents are settled in China and are stateless or of "uncertain" nationality. A foreign-born person with at least one parent who is a Chinese citizen has Chinese citizenship, so long as the Chinese-citizen parent(s) have not "settled" in a foreign country. The term "settled" is usually taken to mean that the Chinese citizen parent has permanent residency in the country concerned. A person born outside China, including those with parent(s) holding Chinese citizenship, does not have Chinese citizenship if a foreign citizenship is acquired at birth, if a Chinese national parent has settled abroad. In China, children born of Chinese-foreign marriages are considered to be Chinese citizens by the government of the People's Republic of China. Basically, you have to have ethnic Chinese blood if you want to apply to be a Chinese citizen and hold a China Passport. The Immigration Department in Hong Kong and Macau is however, authorised to naturalise foreign or stateless people as Chinese citizens but you have to stay in these two regions or in China for an extended period of time and hold permanent residency. It would be helpful however,if you have relatives holding Chinese citizenship. I would advise learning Mandarin Chinese, as well as more about Chinese culture before you make this crucial decision. You should also appy for Chinese Permanent Residency and try living there for 5-7 years to help you decide if China is for you.
