As for citizenship status in China, that may be how the law is worded, but it isn't enforced. We left China with a Chinese passport that was still good and Chinese citizenship documents. Someone like Eileen Gu retained citizenship due to her mother's citizenship. In practice, the Chinese government isn't revoking citizenship, in part I expect due to the problem of not knowing who is given citizenship in other countries.

I don't disagree with what you say (well, maybe about how Eileen "retained" citizenship vs given a free pass). I disagreed with your 2 points that you originally used to respond to my bullets.

I hope, at the very least, you can see that I did not "purposefully misstate how dual citizenship works".
