If you are born in China to Chinese parents, China considers you under it's jurisdiction for life. You can't travel to another country and start working against Chinese interests without consequences.
- olalonde 4mo agoThat's not true. You can renounce your Chinese citizenship and it's actually required if you acquire another citizenship.
- seanmcdirmid 4mo agoThis is sort of true. China can forcibly reinstate Chinese citizenship at their own discretion.
- olalonde 4mo agoI guess in the same sense that the U.S. considers they have jurisdiction globally. Not de jure, but a de facto reality.
- seanmcdirmid 4mo agoYes. mind you this is just about the Swedish bookseller who was abducted from Thailand in 2018. There is not much defense for China here, even a what aboutism the USA doesn’t do much.
