Getting Chinese mainland travel permit as a Hong Kong citizen with dual nationalty
I'm a French citizen and also a Hong Kong citizen. I was born in HK but I lived for all my life in France. I got the HK residency card because of my birth.
I want to get a chinese mainland travel permit to make my trips to China, easier and less costly.
While discussing with some friends, they said because I have dual citizenship and I've used my French passport previously in China, China will not let me apply to the travel permit anymore because of new laws that were passed recently, barring citizens with dual nationalties and who have travelled with the other passport (French one for me) to apply.
Checking on Wikipedia, there are no such issues mentioned but I maybe wrong.
