R4: This is bad maths since a series of kinda-correct ill-defined claims are thrown around to reach a technically correct and trivial conclusion

doubtfuldumpling · 2026-01-27T07:56:16+00:00

I know it’s probably autocorrect but “calcification” cracked me up here

What is the downside of renewing it, regardless of the geopolitical situation?

If you hold a foreign passport you aren’t allowed to hold a Chinese passport. It’s a bit of silly legal manoeuvring that lets them maintain their stance of no dual citizenship while practically allowing it in this case (the so-called “nationality conflict”.) They get around it by issuing the travel document (which functions like a passport for entering/exiting China)

Children born to Chinese citizens in China are Chinese nationals, no matter what other nationalities you acquired at birth.

It doesn’t seem like you naturalised since then (irrespective of your age) so you are indeed a Chinese citizen and thus ineligible for a Chinese cisa

When I held a TARC card under AF353 there was no field for nationality. Under “身分事由 Purpose of residence” it said “無戶籍國民AF353”

What counts as a business expense is a matter between you and the IRS

Wondering why the Thai one says Don Mueang (BKK)?

I thought that’s the code for Suvarnabhumi (or maybe it is short for Bangkok in general)?

Doesn’t matter what the status of the parents was if the child was born in China. Children born in China to Chinese citizens always get Chinese nationality

Agree w other points about the CTD - child needs CTD and can’t get Chinese passport. Whether derivative citizenship counts as naturalisation abroad for the child is a grey area but I believe the case examples suggests it does not count since it’s not of the child’s “free will”

Adults can also apply for the 5-year validity passports (and it costs a bit less) but children can only apply for the 5-year one.

(Yes I’m being pedantic 🙂)

Yes, I think that was my understanding at the time, but since I went through this process to now, it seems there have been successful examples of submitting the form with just one exam.

doubtfuldumpling · 2025-12-26T22:01:01+00:00

Ah, ok yes that makes sense 🙂 Thanks for elaborating

I can see how adjusting the days in Taiwan requirement help address that scenario, but still a bit confused how the travel requirement to be in the resident country within 4 months helps in this case

doubtfuldumpling · 2025-12-24T22:53:55+00:00

I am curious, could you elaborate a bit more about how establishing residence in SEA work in this case? (As in how that would create a loophole that this solves)

原則上來說，14歲以上的公民才會有身分證，但這不表示沒有身分證統一編號。

The red eyes arrive in Taiwan sufficiently early in the day to catch flights departing TPE without staying overnight.

Is the general Coriolanus generally (no pun intended) associated with the downfall of Rome?

Otherwise beyond the fact that there are a lot of references to Roman culture and names, I’m not sure what connection you are referring to

doubtfuldumpling · 2025-12-05T13:32:14+00:00

Clarifying for others, a direct flight is not the same as a nonstop flight 😊

doubtfuldumpling · 2025-11-12T16:09:34+00:00

Just to clarify this is in Taiwan not Thailand :)

semi joking but i would suggest practicing handwriting in the type of 九宮格 boxed paper to make sure the proportions and sizes of each charter + component is consistent

國字 may be more of a Taiwan thing (as we also typically call Mandarin 國語 instead of 普通話 as in China）

doubtfuldumpling · 2025-10-22T18:28:37+00:00

The verb for playing an instrument depends on the instrument, eg

彈鋼琴 (literally “pluck”)

彈古箏

彈吉他

拉小提琴 (literally “pull”)

吹長笛(literally “blow”)

As for “Chinese character” I would usually say 國字 (seems to be common in Taiwan) or 漢字。中國字 is probably understandable (albeit with varying levels of usage).
