    Because I find the Chinese Nationality Law Article 5 does not have a clear definition between the Chinese National parents settled country and the overseas born child's birth place/country. Must the two places be the same or can be different to determine the child's eligibility of being a "Chinese National" (not a Chinese descent only)?

    I know if the child is born in a foreign country where the Chinese National parent(s) is settled (PR/citizenship), then the child does not have Chinese nationality. But if the child is born in a foreign country where the Chinese National parent(s) does not have PR/citizenship but have a different foreign country's PR/citizenship, then what the HK Immigration thinks and how this Article 5 applies.

    Thank you.
    If the child is born after 97 and outside hk, they can't apply for HK id, let alone hk sar passport, this is case for overseas based chinese

    Where is this stipulated, please.
    That's not in line with Chinese nationality law, which is available on HK IMMi's website

    Unfortunately imparanoic only goes by what he hears and one of the people providing misleading advice here constantly.
