Travel to China as a Chinese national [duplicate]

My wife is a Chinese national residing in Belgium. We would like to do the following itinerary:

Belgium --> Hong Kong (<7 days) --> Mainland China (e.g. Chengdu) --> Belgium

I assume my wife does not need a permit to go to Hong Kong. I assume she can return to Belgium from mainland China (no need to go back from Hong Kong)?

Can anyone confirm my assumptions ?

Best Answer

Correct. She does not need a visa to transit Hong Kong for less than 7 days between a foreign country and Mainland China.
