How is a thread about Yao and his baby not worth 5 stars? Come on people... you've got to give the 5 stars up for a baby regardless, but especially when it's Yao's.
Congratulations to Yao first. Hope he will be happy and nice daddy all days. Yao said his daughter won't play basketball, who know? and buddy, China's law doesn't admit dual citizenship, which means Yao has to select one. We will see. I guess it's gonna be Chinese Nationality.
According to US law, a parent cannot renounce the citizenship of their own child. The child has to convince a U.S. diplomat that they fully understand the consequences and nature of renunciation of citizenship.
hahahahah grasping at straws The bottom line is it does not matter because they have cash and don't really need to be a citizen to get services but........she is a TEXAN! :grin:
Really, parents can't make the decision? does this mean that we have wailt until little baby Yao gets up and then we may know their natioality?Wow, the time the child could even speak has a long way to go.
Way to go! You're boys can swim!!! I heard she came out and was already whistling the globetrotters theme
China (like lots of countries) has a rule against acquiring a second citizenship, but that doesn't mean you can't effectively be a dual citizen. China would have to know about the other citizenship. They don't have access to some US database of citizenship. If a dual citizen gets a chinese passport and travels to China with it, the government would be none the wiser. Just don't hand anyone two passports at once. Of course, with this being Yao's kid, they'll know. But, the machinery might not be in place for it to matter.
When a U.S. permanent resident becomes naturalized, he/she will have to turn in the Green Card. The status of a China-born U.S. citizen will then be known to the Chinese border officer if the visitor can no longer show the Green Card. So there is no legal way to get around this.
