Born in the USA
May 29, 2010
Last week, Ye Li, the wife of NBA center Yao Ming gave birth to a daughter in a local hospital in Houston. According to U.S. law, the baby can get U.S. citizenship automatically. If Yao's daughter chooses Chinese nationality, must comply with the premise that she gives up U.S. citizenship, because Chinese law does not recognize dual nationality.
As soon as Yao Ming announces his wife's pregnant information, the baby's nationality becomes a big concern among many Chinese people. 2 months ago, Yao Ming responded to the issue of nationality and said "this is a private matter'' Yao Ming selected Houston as her daughter's birth place which caused many people's attention in China again.
