Dual Citizenship and the Principle of Reciprocity

Right, makes much more sense to let the Chinese take it quietly. That would minimally affect me, personally.

Wont make any difference one way or the other. HK and Macau still have their own passports which are not PRC passports.

Yes, good. Why have people die and ruin the global economy for no reason, right?

Ah so it’s just all a game then. Lets all play nice.

Yeah, constant repetition is a huge bore, isn’t it :sleeping:

“Play nice means “to behave without causing trouble .”
The game played (on international stage) is: “look good” while taking care ruthlessly for your national interests.

Oh look. Canadians are discriminating between countries.

Perhaps @TT Taiwan should make this “reciprocal” and require Canadians to have the tests done in New York (as Canada requires Taiwanese to go to Manila) and require both stool samples as Taiwan does from certain nationalities.

It does, but discrimination of national origin is a protected class.

Well Canada like many other countries is known for it’s discrimination of indigenous peoples.

jumping from administrative recognition of driving licences (remember, operating a vehicle is a privilege, not a right, a with all privileges you need a licence to enjoy that) to citizenship is quite a stretch.

There can’t be any reciprocity on citizenship, otherwise we must have reciprocity on constitutional statuses, as citizenship is a sovereign right of the nation and no other entity but the nation itself can rule about it.

It would. Singling out Taiwanese based on their passport alone is something I expect from Pakistan or the United Nations.

Ot go back to-refusing residence for HIV positive people, like Australia does? (unless you get an exemption)

Australia does it (like all other incurable illnesses) because of the cost of medicine.

Taiwan used to deny you but now simply doesn’t fund HIV medication for foreigners. (I’m not sure of the case if you naturalize though)
