Born in the US because his parents were with the symphony and travelling at the time. That still doesn’t make him NOT Chinese.

I am talking acting. Nakadai was a great actor. Bruce? So-so.

(grin!) nice try!

Hong Kong was a British Protectorate in 1940. Being born in San Francisco made him an American Citizen; had this not been the case and had he been born in Hong Kong, I put to you that he would probably have been a British Subject (as opposed to a British Citizen), and thus entitled to protection by the Crown but not entitled to settle in the UK without additional permission. He would have qualified for this thru his Dad.

He would probably not have qualified for a ChiCom passport.

He was ethnically Chinese/German.

I’ll concede that.
