Althought the UK govt is advising our citizens, it's the Chinese rules that prevent anyone holding a Chinese passport to stay in China. [Post edited 30 Jan 2020 10:20]

Deliberately splitting up families is the kind of thing we'd expect from the likes of 'them'. Not us. We're the good guys. |  |

Are we actually clear on the reasons...? Is this the UK or China being the problem? |  |

Fair question. Although the UK has already been criticised elsewhere for not acting as quickly as other nations. And if the issue is China's end would it take much persuasion to allow them to rid themselves of a potentially diseased couple of half-British citizens? We shall see, but as it reads, the FO doesn't seem to be making as much fuss as they could. |  |

Spot on. It's actually China insisting that Chinese citizens can't leave. |  |

It's China who are not allowing Chinese residents to leave. |  |

You have the same info as everyone else here. The articles quote the FO as not doing enough in their eyes. They are there, we are not, so I'm guessing they know more than us. I've already answered Sparks. |  |

Good question. Seems like I’ve jumped the gun and it’s more to do with the Chinese end, inferred from this article stating that our Govt is pushing China to let dual nationality citizens leave. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jan/29/uk-presses-china-to-let-dual-na Apologies, normally don’t take tvvater on face value and is was re-tweeted by someone who’s normally reliable. |  |

There have certainly been complaints about our end, although it seems we’re not the only problem. A self woosh for me on this |  |

The families are feeling let down, understandably. One isn't even resident there and have only been there a week or two. Crazy. |  |

It's the Chinese government who have said no people with dual Chinese citizenship can't leave. Lets get the facts right here. None of that makes it acceptable though - it's a ridiculous stance from the Chinese. It's also ridiculous to try and make it about the UK government for political reasons.

I think we've established that bud. I've amended it. Only thing I would say is there are quotes from people in that situation who say not enough is being done this end, though that could also understandably be frustration. |  |
