Ya, applying for HRP will be a problem, I can't read or write any Chinese and I can barely talk properly. But China Visa for US Passports are 10 years and I always get them done back home in SF. Also I don't think I am considered a Chinese national to mainland as long as I don't take on the three star HKID. Unlike most people who apply, my parents are mainlanders. Once I was born in the US, my parents had the option to get me a US Passport or China. Since China doesn't allow dual passport, I was never considered a Chinese national. But since I came work in HK and did my 7 years, there is a loop hole made by special explanations of the Nationality Law for HKSAR and MACAU, were I am able to get back my Chinese citizenship (HK version) while keeping my US Passport.
Also does anyone know if Chinese nationality law applies retroactively?
