I would say that the fact that she was born there is significant enough to make her think of herself as "Chinese" regardless of what country she happens to live in or be a national of. I doubt think thinks she revoked her Chinese Identity just because she revoked her citizenship. More likely she feels she "abandoned" the Gov't of China and not the Chinese people.
If you are talking about a country which you do not live in, do not contribute to and are not a citizen of, then the people who live there are not 'your people'. Miss Bimbo has given up her stake in China and Chinese society, so she has no affiliation with the citizens of China.
She's contributing to Chinese society by speaking out against the corrupt gov't.
You are just being your usual Troll self trying to say the Chinese people are not "her' people.
She feels attached to them, she is from there, everyone else in the world EXCEPT YOU would say she has a right to speak about Chinese issues.

They are her people. She is 'of' them... even if she lives somewhere else. She still has ties to people in China I'm sure... and so she certainly has a "stake in China."
I have a close family member and a couple of close friends who live in Australia, but that doesn't mean I have a stake in Australia.
Sure you do. You have a vested interest in what happens in Australia. If the Gov't was overtly corrupt, like the Chinese Gov't, and had no respect for the rights of its' citizens... you most assuredly would speak out.
You know you would.
Please don't lie and state otherwise.
You speak out about issues in the USA all the time, even though you "have no right" to do so according to the "rules" your are postulating in this thread.
So are you a liar or a hypocrite or just a Troll?mrswdk wrote:If an American moves to Germany, gains German nationality and renounces their American nationality then they lose the right to vote in American elections. They are no longer an American and they are no longer a part of American society. This is the same.
Yep. They lose the right to vote.
They don't lose the right to voice their opinions.
Here's the difference, only since you brought it up. If a former US Citizen criticizes the US Gov't; and then wants to travel here to compete in some Beauty Pageant. I'm fairly certain they're going to get the visa. Why is the Chinese Gov't so afraid of what some little girl si saying about them? Maybe they're afraid that the Chinese people will finally get sick of all the smoke and mirror BS they use to perpetuate their control?
