Are China people still from China after they get foreign nationality? What's the difference between overseas Chinese and China people?

Not China's. Because China does not recognize dual citizenship.

The difference between overseas Chinese and China people;

First, different nationalities:

1. Overseas Chinese are often referred to as "overseas Chinese" in the congratulatory messages of some national leaders. However, China people with China nationality have lived abroad all the year round for various reasons, but they have not joined the nationality they live in. They are still China citizens and China citizens protected by the laws of China.

2. China people, first of all, foreign Chinese. It's true. But not the first generation of foreign Chinese, but the descendants of the first generation of Chinese. Before the first generation of Chinese, they were born and lived in China. Both parents were born and raised in China, and later they joined a foreign nationality. This is the first generation of China people. Chinese-Americans are born in a foreign country, and automatically have the nationality of the country of birth, so they are foreigners, but they also have China descent, so they are called Chinese-Americans, but it is also right to be called foreign Chinese.

Second, the legal protection is different:

Overseas Chinese are China citizens protected by the laws of China, while Chinese are not protected by the laws of China.
