I have buddies in Taekwondo who were born/grew up in Canada with immigrant parents. You can gain citizenship for those countries quite easily, if you are good at sports, and rep them in the olympics. It's a huge loophole that has been exploited forever.
Maybe it's a special allowance being provided by the govt, but China doesn't allow dual citizenship. I've never heard of anyone receiving that. Chinese who take citizenship elsewhere also lose their Chinese citizenship.
