From a humanistic point of view, the child should be considered chinese but he/she will be facing an uphill battle no matter their optimism.

Exactly. But the astf poster can't be convinced of that.

Just on the off chance that a fellow brit is reading this thread and in need of genuine help on the matter I will once again refer them to the British embassy in china who have a fantastically helpful team of which I can confirm the San migs poster is not a member.

What is San Mig's real name? How can you confirm he is not a member? Either you know too much about him and other posters and you've been holding back but the more real possibility is that you're too desperate to be right about something from all this attention seeking you're doing and need to be vindicated on something. Are you a member of some fantastically helpful team that brings value to the society that you live and work in or are you just a member of the Useless Tripeful Shill Gambit Team of starving hyenas? Lol.

Discussions may or may not branch out depending on the level and depth of what people want to talk about, and that isn't something you have control over when you choose to talk to others. Just like I can't control how much you like to cut other people down when you can't garner enough credible information on your end to carry on an intelligent conversation.

From a humanistic point of view, the child should be considered chinese but he/she will be facing an uphill battle no matter their optimism. It was just like when I questioned the validity recently when having a discussion with a colleague of calling someone of Asian ethnicity "American born [insert country of parents' origin]", but I understand this still gets used not out of maliciousness necessarily a lot still. People no matter where you go like to label things to save themselves of the task of getting to know someone these days. Might be why the world is exploding in population but everyone seems to care less and less about each other.

I'm afraid in the eyes of the PRC the child is just considered a foreigner, regardless of all the rules.

Yes, I do hate it when people change topic like that. Perhaps you'd have the good grace to answer the question I posed on my previous post on this thread, namely what precisely that article has to do with the nationality of children born in china to foreign nationals?

No, mate. Wrong end of the stick I'm afraid. I was once again offering dragonized some friendly advice based on your teachings. It was after all you who said that there was no room for Chinese on an ENGLISH discussion board. Just thought I'd save you the trouble of having to repeat yourself.

Happy to talk about other topics inc. the UK. You go ahead and start a topic and if I feel it's something of interest I'll be sure to contribute.

One teacher I spoke to recently summed it up rather nicely when he said that the west simply has no balls. Too many folks whether they be from the USA, Britain, or Australia bent over with their pants down holding a handful of lubricant ready to "take it". Case in point here.

I don't know dragonized. I think most people would say that quoting from the information pages of institutions such as the British embassy or US state department on questions of nationality would be a fairly safe bet but I see that you are obviously something of a maverick in that respect.

Not quite sure what the page you've posted there has to do with the topic that we were discussing last month (thanks for the early reply). Certainly sounds like a nasty business doesn't it. I tell you what why don't you use your excellent Chinese skills and sharp intellect to post a reply to these hoodlums. I mean we can't have a group of people sitting in the comfort of their living rooms, using their laptops to bad mouth other nationalities left right and centre, can we? Ha ha ha

P.s. careful using Chinese or Chinese sources on this forum it gets some people rather upset

That you can't accept that you are wrong about the question of nationality and continue to post erroneously is hardly my fault. I'll just continue to provide sourced and accurate information and you can just continue to say i'm 'bickering'.

I see that your paranoia about who i am is resurfacing. [edited]

Blabla.....you have a right to post but no entitlement to having attention being paid to it...It's bickering time again; on your part, of course!

That's right. But thanks for paying attention anyway. Lol
