    US citizenship has perks in terms of not having to get visa.

    His child was born here. How can the USA say that child is not a citizen just because the parents say that they don't want it?

    LOL. It's "Ye" my friend. "Yao and Yi" would be Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

    Not necessarily true, depends on which country you go to.

    She can leave the US on a US passport and enter other countries on a Chinese one...

    If you are talking about Yao's daughter, no she can't. She won't be given a Chinese passport if she has a U.S. passport, unless China is ready to open the flood gate.

    Get US citizenship, travel on a chinese passport. China has no way of knowing unless they're informed by Yao or his wife.

    The US may not deny citizenship, but because Yao and his wife are Chinese Nationals, the child is applicable for dual citizenship.

    Nvm. China is most likely different. I bet its one or the other, no option for dual.

    China doesn't have to know, you are asked to prove it when you apply for Chinese passport.

    You mean for the child of possibly the most famous man in China? I'd be willing to bet they'd find out fairly easily.

    Well I suppose it's possible that some Chinese don't know Yao, but ...

    when you enter China as a Chinese citizen, records on your Chinese passport for entering/leaving the U.S. will be inspected. Even though the U.S. recognizes dual citizenship, I can't imagine U.S., or any other country, would issue visas to its own (natural born) citizens and let them maintain their alien status. So you'll be caught either by U.S. or China for the "duplicity."
