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).
