that's because I have a Hong Kong Chinese passport and a 3 star Hong Kong ID card and unlike Dragon, I actually have Hukou and I have a house and a factory in Dongguan, I am pretty sure I can apply for Chinese Passport (the red mainland Chinese one, not the blue Hong Kong one) if I am willing to give up my US, Australia, Swedish, British Citizenship. I can live in China for an indefinite amount of time and I can buy and sell houses in China, Dragon cannot (Unless rules has changed since I left Hong Kong in 1999/2000)
My mother was born in Vietnam by a Chinese parent during WW2, and live in China with her parent after WW2, that is why she have Hukou and can buy/sell house in China, and that is why when me and my brother and sister was born, we were added by the register (which is her uncle), back then you can do that when you have money to pay off people.
My mother went back to Vietnam in 1960s in her 20s and during the Vietnam war, she met my father who is a US Sailor stationed in Pleiku, however, he rotate home before they can get married, long story short, she left Vietnam for Hong Kong and stayed in refugee camp since 1972, and my dad some how had track her down and married her in Hong Kong, but before she was granted US residence, her application for asylum is taken up by the UN and Australia offer her the visa, she went to Australia (rather, forced on a plane to Australia), landed and granted Permanent Resident. And then she was granted US visa just before I was born, and I was born in the US.
In Mainland Chinese official eyes, I was born in Dongguan, China, in Hong Kong Official eyes, I was a Hong Kong resident of Chinese Descent, in British government eyes, I was a British Overseas Citizen of mixed race, hence I was reclassified as British Overseas National, instead of British National Overseas where many Hongkonger belong to. In American eyes, I was born in Kansas, USA, in Swedish government eyes, I was married to a Swede, in Australian government eyes, I was a son of a Vietnamese Refugee.
Okay, you're Chinese You have a Chinese blood in you after all.
