I think you need to check with Chinese consulate. As far as I know and researched, this is what chinese standing is on Dual Nationality:

China does not accept dual nationality. The Nationality Law of China holds that as soon as a Chinese citizen takes foreign citizenship, they will automatically forfeit their Chinese citizenship.

There might be a loop hole because US does not recognise most nationalities but as long as you trave to and from USA on US Passport they won't say anything. I believe UK is same way.

Definitely check with Consulate or your Chinese friends and family.

Hope this helps

hello,waheed malik. thank you very much of your information. i did look at the website of chinese embassy. i found out that i cannot have dual nationality. what a pity, but never mind, at least, i know now. by the way, i did my test today, guess what?! i past, haha... i was so pleased about it. thank you for your support so far.

hello vicky , u can use the chinese passport until matrue...

im so worry about my test...is too difficult for me ....

You need to check with your consulate, many countries do not allow dual citizenship, such as Germany. But can chosse not to tell them...

The UK allows dual or multiple Citizenships, but when you are in your country of origin you still must abide to the rules of that country unless you renounce it. That means your British Citizenship sort of stays dormant, while you are in your country of origin.

I have Italian (EU) and Argentinean citizenships, on becoming British I would have 3 citizenships and 3 passports. I have checked with the Italian Consulate and they don't mind, they already know, I am also Argentinean. And the Argies, is like the US, where 'juris solis' (right of soil) applies, i.e.s if are born on argentinean soil you are argentinean citizen whether you like it or not, so they will always see you as an Argie, (not sure you can even renounce it) they don't like it very much, but there is nothing they can do stopping you. 80% or more of Argentineans are dual nationals, or are entitled to a second citizenship: either Italian or Spanish, followed close by British and Germans (based on ancestry), for that purpose Argentina has bilateral agreements with all European countries so that you do not need to do National Service where National Service is required, although now even Argentina has dropped the National Service in favour of a professional Army.

I alsways enter Argentina on my Italian passport, they can see I am Argetinean, due my place of Birth, and you can tell they don't like it much, but never had an issue. With time they've got used to the hundreds of thousends of Argies living abroad who visit Argentina on a regular basis.

Earlier there was a rule that you must leave Argentina on an argentinean passport if you were argentinean, even if you had a second european passport, but they dropped that rule, but only if you stay under 90 days in the country.
