Do China people in the United States need Chinese ID cards to join the United States? What role can an ID card play?

Generally, Chinese ID cards are not used to apply for green cards and naturalization in the United States, and China passports are used as identification documents.

Chinese identity cards are the official documents for China citizens to prove their identity in China, and their descriptions are all in Chinese.

Passport is a travel document issued by a country's government to its citizens or nationals. Used to prove the identity and nationality of the holder, so as to enter and leave the country and travel abroad. At the same time, it is also used to request foreign authorities to provide convenience and protection for the holder. Passport is related to the right to legal protection abroad and the right to enter the country of origin. Passports usually have the holder's photo, signature, date of birth, nationality and other personal identification.

China passport has my own Chinese and English information, which can be directly provided to the US Immigration Service to identify myself, without translation and notarization.
