| Summary: | This article examines the politics of dual citizenship in Taiwan and the People's
Republic of China (PRC). While the immigrants in Taiwan are proposing to
expand the privileged right of dual citizenship to non-Republic of China (ROC)
nationals, the Chinese emigrants are demanding the right to retain their Chinese
citizenship on their acquisition of foreign citizenship. Despite the continuous
lobbying, both governments are reluctant to liberalise their existing citizenship
law. The liberal preposition which situates dual citizenship in a human rights
framework is unacceptable to both states. This article suggests that the political
cultures of Taiwan and China are incompatible with the liberalist approach of
citizenship |
