What does Chinese-American mean?

Chinese-Americans refer to China people or Chinese-Americans with American citizenship. Chinese Americans include China people from China and other parts of the world who later became American citizens and their descendants.

According to the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution and the 1898 US Supreme Court Act (1898 USA v. Wong Kim AR), anyone born in China is an American citizen. When you become an American citizen, immigrants don't have to give up their original nationality.

However, China does not recognize dual nationality, and the basic principles of the China government in dealing with dual nationality are: adhering to one person and one nationality and not recognizing dual nationality; Respect the wishes of the parties themselves; Overseas Chinese who choose China nationality should abide by the laws and customs of the host country, get along well with the local people and not participate in local political activities, but their legitimate rights and interests should be respected and protected.
