I have a friend who wants to study abroad. I heard that the nationality of the local country is free of tuition (unclear). Can I give up my China citizenship temporarily?

Your friend's idea looks good, but it's really bad.

To renounce China citizenship, the Ministry of Public Security has regulations: 1, close relatives of foreigners; 2. Settle abroad; 3. There are other legitimate reasons. Those who meet the requirements can apply.

The Law on the Restoration of Nationality also stipulates that foreigners who once had China nationality may apply for the restoration of China nationality with justified reasons; Those who have been approved to restore China nationality shall not retain their foreign nationality. This is legally possible, but it is very difficult to restore China nationality. According to the Ministry of Public Security, since the founding of New China, only a few thousand people have been approved to join or restore China nationality, and most of them are celebrities who have contributed to New China. Therefore, the consequences of renouncing nationality are very serious, and there is basically no return, unless the country lacks talents.
