Here is a way to become Chinese:

1. Move to Hong Kong
2. Stay here 7 years to become permanent resident
3. Apply for HK SAR passport
4. If approved, give up your current nationality.

Then you are officially HK Chinese.

Mike Rowse (HKinvest) did that for example.

No you plank. You will still be wherever you are from now.

You will just be living there.

I am Irish. But i live in England. That still makes me Irish.

Ginny Jin

No you would be an expatriate. You don't change your nationality just because you are living in a foreign country.

Aliz

NO, unless you become a citizen of China.

sandy

i wouldnt say so. if you go to a circus, does that make you a clown? no

CuriousBanana

maybe a Chinese cititzen... but it won't change your ethnicity if you aren't Chinese. :]

Over a period of time, you might assimilate some of their culture but that won't make you a Chinese.

The great American author Pearl S Buck lived in China on anf off for many years yet she is as American as apple pie... perhaps with a little sesame seeds sprinkle atop.

No, you are still who you are, no matter where you go.

What's a chinnese?

No. You are what you are wherever you live. I'm welsh if I went to live in China I would be a welsh person living in China.

jitendra

No not at all..u will still be an indian till u get the citizenship of china...

nomad

no ........... not unless you get a nationality change ................ first you have to own a land in china then live there for a very very long time then talk to the government group that deals with your case .................

you'll stay a filipino

loveasianmen69

no ..........i did that.........you will still be foreign. and you will know it by the many stares that you get from people........if you happen to get married or something you should NEVER give up your citizenship, because you will have to go through the same process they go through to get a visa for your own country. which is a very long and unfun process.

Chinese legally or by heart?

Legally, you can become chinese by being a Chinese Citizen, whether in Hong Kong or Mainland

By heart, no you will never be a chinese, it is like a girl changing sex. Is she a "male"? No, she would still a female even with an operation

However, if you wish to declare yourself as Chinese, no one to stop you
