China has a strict law not naturalizing foreigners, but recently the policy was changed a little bit and a crack is opened, for foreign born soccer players, if they have Chinese origin within 3 generations, they can apply to become Chinese citizen by giving up their current foreign citizenship, many candidate now are filing application, my home team Beijing Guoan got 3 from different European countries.You find expats in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh too. That means nothing. These guys were basically losers in their own countries and take up hardship assignments for a fat cheque. Few talented westerners relocate to Asian countries because of their love for Asian societies. Forget the exceptions. Not one would give up their western nationality.
