Loss of Nationality
A Chinese national who has settled abroad and voluntarily applies for and acquires another country's nationality automatically forfeits Chinese nationality (Article 9).
Chinese nationals may renounce their Chinese nationality upon approval if they have foreign-national relatives, if they have settled abroad, or have other legitimate reasons (Article 10).

Famous quotes containing the words loss of, loss and/or nationality:
“Loss of freedom seldom happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush moustache and swastika armband—it creeps up insidiously ... step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realises that it is gone.”
—Baron Lane (b. 1918)
“Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself, can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper, and the loss of self-control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right; and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog, than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
