    Dear AJZ, thanks for the information.
    Well, by origin I am not a chinese but a Nepalese. Or just because I was born in Hong Kong am I counted as a chinese? Well, does being born in HongKong makes me a chinese and be eligible to apply for ID or PIC from Australia? Thank you very much!

    Short answer - No.

    Chinese nationality law follows jus sanguinis. Only those born in Hong Kong and are ethnically Chinese by descent are Chinese citizens by right of birth.
