China does not recognize dual nationality.  If you are a citizen of both China and another Country, you may experience difficulty entering and departing China on your other country passport.  In some cases, non-China passports have been seized by Chinese authorities.  Dual nationals may be subject to Chinese laws which impose special obligations.  Such persons are often required to use Chinese documentation to enter China.

The United States requires that all U.S. citizens enter and depart the United States on U.S. passports.  Dual nationals who enter and depart China using a U.S. passport and a valid PRC visa retain the right of U.S. consular access and protection under the U.S.-PRC Consular Convention.  The ability of the U.S. Embassy or Consulates General in China to provide normal consular services would be extremely limited should a dual national enter China on a Chinese or other passport.

Before traveling to China, dual nationals should contact the related authorities for additional information.
