How difficult is it to become a citizen of China?

Legal analysis: It is very difficult for foreigners to join the household registration in China, and it is basically impossible for people with ordinary status. Because China itself is a non-immigrant country, that is, it does not recognize dual citizenship, so it attaches great importance to green cards and naturalization. In addition, you must be of China descent to be eligible for the application, and this bloodline relationship cannot be too far away. According to the relevant laws, close relatives are defined as: the parties have husband and wife, lineal blood relatives, collateral blood relatives within three generations, and close in-laws relations. Therefore, once three generations have passed, you will lose the opportunity to apply for China citizenship.
