If I get a foreign green card, can I keep my China nationality?

After obtaining permanent resident status, the applicant is still a citizen of China, and his original household registration or household registration will not be affected. In fact, many people choose to retain their China citizenship and strive for permanent residence in other countries, not to occupy resources, but to give themselves one more choice.

The essence of green card is a visa, which can enter the country at any time and live indefinitely. PR does not change nationality. You enter and leave the country with a China passport. As long as you are a citizen of China, there is no restriction on returning to China.

Nowadays, many people apply for permanent residence status instead of settling in immigrant countries. There are many situations of moving and not moving, so there is no need to entangle at all. It's okay to have both.

However, if the applicant applies for naturalization after obtaining permanent resident status, he will lose his China citizenship.

Take Australia as an example. If you get Australian PR, the first one is a five-year visa, and you can renew your five-year visa after living for two years in five years. You can renew your 1 year visa if you have lived for less than 2 years.

So if you go back to China with PR, the only trouble is that if you are not in the country of immigration for a long time, it will be a bit troublesome to renew it.
