The United States wants to deport Chinese immigrants who entered the country illegally. China’s acceptance requirements are clear and increasingly depressing. To be accepted back, one must meet three strict requirements: 美國要遣返非法入境的中國移民，中國的接收條件明確，越看越讓人心裡發沉，想被接回來得滿足仨硬要求：

First, you must be a Chinese citizen; you cannot claim to be stateless.

Second, you must have valid identification such as an ID card or passport.

Third, all necessary identification documents must be complete. If you have previously made statements or committed acts that endanger the country, you will be held accountable according to the law upon your return, and in serious cases, you may even face imprisonment.

In fact, behind these requirements lies the law’s clear definition of “citizenship” and “legal obligations”:

Nationality is the most fundamental legal connection between us and the country. Safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and interests is a red line that every Chinese citizen must not cross, no matter where they are.

Even if you violate national security laws while abroad, you will still face legal consequences upon your return.

第一，必須是中國國籍，不能說自己無國籍；

第二，得有身份證、護照這類有效的身份證明；

第三，身份材料得齊全，要是以前發表過危害國家的言論、做過危害國家的事，回來後會依法追責，情節嚴重的還得坐牢。

其實這些條件背後，是法律對“公民身份”和“法定義務”的明確界定：

國籍是我們和國家最根本的法律聯結，維護國家主權、安全和利益是每個中國公民無論身處何地都不能碰的紅線。

哪怕人在國外，違反了國家安全相關法律，回國后一樣要為自己的行為付出法律代價。
