Well then, such “of course” should have been made clear in the article.
So in your estimation, if China decided to grant automatic Chinese citizenship to all people of 50% of greater Chinese ancestry - do you think that as a result of this Chinese law, no natural born citizen of America of Chinese descent could ever be President under American law?
What China decides to grant in now way affects what country a given person owes allegiance to with regard to Natural Born Citizenship. Natural Born Citizenship is determined at birth, and is in fact a CONDITION of Birth.
1st, the article was written by someone else (i.e I'm not Leo Donofrio). 2nd, check my posting in #1.

Such a law would not apply to people not currently under the jurisdiction of Chinese law. Further, it wouldn't be recognized internationally save for perhaps N.K. and the like. Lastly, "natural born Citizen" is based on natural law, not "man's" law.
