Hong Kong: The British Consulate-General here has been informed that “Hong Kong, like other parts of China, does not recognize dual nationality,” a statement on a UK government website said.
“If you have both British and Chinese nationality you may be treated as a Chinese citizen by local authorities, even if you enter Hong Kong on your British passport,” the UK said in an 8 February update to its Hong Kong travel advice.
“If this is the case, the British Consulate-General may not be able to offer you consular assistance,” according to the advice. “If you have formally renounced Chinese citizenship, you should carry evidence that you have done so.”
China late last month said it won’t recognize British National (Overseas) passports as travel documents or identification.
