How to get Chinese citizenship
Right now. China It is one of the most authoritative countries in the world, in a short time the state managed to reach unprecedented heights in almost all areas.
Even 50 years ago, the country could not boast of its influence in the international arena. It had no prerequisites for the development of its economy, but the last 10 years China It makes the whole world reckon with its opinion, now it is one of the most economically developed countries in the world. One in five people on earth is a citizen. And this People's Republic of China. It is not surprising that some citizens of the CIS and other countries are trying to get Chinese citizenship, but it is quite difficult to do this.

Obtaining Chinese citizenship: features
The People’s Republic of China attracts different segments of the population with its capabilities. This is why China’s immigration policy makes it difficult to acquire citizenship.
Despite the complexity of obtaining citizenship, some of the world’s inhabitants can hope to obtain a cherished passport of the People’s Republic of China.
Thus, people with Chinese education have chances to become a citizen of the PRC, because this specialist can stay in the country and work for its benefit. It is worth remembering that education, therefore, and citizenship, will not work without knowledge of the language and cultural foundations.
Another category can be specialists who have been living in China for a long time and working in the territory of the state, they can also apply for citizenship, but knowledge of the Chinese language is a prerequisite. Children born in China, in any province, can become citizens.
In addition to mastering the language and basics of the culture of China, an important criterion is the opinion of society about the candidate. In the event that the applicant has no problems with the legislation of the PRC, and he also has a positive feedback from the employer, his ability to become a passport holder increases dramatically.
At the moment, China has the largest population, so it is clear that the tightening of migration policy will occur every year. Facilitations are made only for certain groups: entrepreneurs, investors, students of higher educational institutions, researchers, representatives of some working specialties with experience and experience in their narrow field.

Registration of Chinese citizenship for foreigners
The authorities of the country very strictly monitor the migration flow to the state, and welcome the outflow of the population, but to prevent the “brain drain” the government is trying to create favorable conditions for specialists in technical specialties.
In the case when a citizen was able to work in the country for several years, it is possible to follow the instructions for acquiring the desired citizenship:
1. In the “Law on citizenship”, which was adopted quite a long time ago and it still remained unchanged, it is necessary to determine under what point it is possible to obtain citizenship;
2. It is imperative to go to the embassy and visit a special bureau for public safety. An application for citizenship is made here;
3. It is necessary to complete and submit to the authorized organizations an impressive list of documents;
4. After all the above points have been fulfilled, the Ministry of Public Security of China will examine the application and within a certain period of time will be able to announce the final result, positive or negative.
If the result is positive, the candidate receives a certificate with proof of Chinese citizenship, that is, a passport of a citizen of the People’s Republic. Particularly strictly, the Chinese government monitors the presence of dual citizenship. If this fact is detected, the passport of such a citizen will be automatically canceled.

Pros and cons of Chinese citizenship
A Chinese passport allows you to enjoy all the benefits that exist in Chinese law. Holders of passports have much more opportunities than owners of residence permits and permanent residence. Of course, it is much easier to obtain a residence permit, but a residence permit is more required for people who are going only to work in China. The residence permit allows you to cross the border of China as long as necessary. But for a full life in China, only one residence permit will not be enough.
A citizen can count on social benefits, you can also apply for high government positions and the most important advantage is visa-free travel around the country. The PRC includes the provinces of Hong Kong and Macau, which have their own migration policy.
Of course, if there are advantages, there will be disadvantages. It is very difficult to obtain a visa to visit certain countries, especially European ones.
China’s most famous problem is air pollution. It is hardly possible to compensate for only one salary, even high, harm to health.
To apply for citizenship, you immediately need to give up your native document, while no one gives guarantees that you will get what you want. Although it is still possible to restore your citizenship, but this process can pretty rub your nerves and wallet thickness.
You can’t call China an immigrant paradise, but if you’re a technical genius, the doors of Chinese society will be a little more open to you than they are to other applicants.
Despite all the advantages, one should not forget about the political regime in China. Such a structure of the country and society will not allow a person to live as he wants.
