Am talking in general here, any person who leaves his country should mind his business in his new place. He should not try to rake up shit back where he left.
On a tangent, I don't trust a person who takes a name of convenience . The most personal identity of man is his name, if you trade it for worldly things you are capable of anything. So an Indian/Chinese/ iranian or Korean Samuel, Gordon, Alice or Betty loose my trust at face value ( of course it's a bias)
In this respect Muslims are good

Jurisdiction is based on where the guy is when the alleged crime occurred, not what citizenship he holds. Otherwise, no foreign nationals can be prosecuted under the US national security laws. Not sure where do some people get the idea that American citizens are above the law when abroad.

The "colluding with foreign powers" part. If he is a US citizen how can China charge him with that. However as somebody brought up if he is dual then obviously there is a problem.

You can ask them. But if they gave birth in US, the kid is US citizen not Chinese.

That's not how it works. Children born to Chinese citizens overseas are automatically citizens of China. This is pretty standard for all countries. Same as if they were visiting Pakistan, Zimbabwe, or in the middle of the ocean on a foreign cruiseship. Most countries don't penalize you for not being physically within the borders.

It's from the perspective of Chinese law just as treason charges in the US applies to noncitizen.

The Law provides that a person whose parents are both Chinese nationals and have both settled abroad (obtained U.S Green Card), or one of whose parents is a Chinese national and has settled abroad(obtained U.S Green Card), and who has acquired foreign nationality at birth shall not have Chinese nationality. The child will be eligible for a Chinese visa.
