Jailed executives are Chinese, Carr told
BEIJING: The three Australians sentenced to long jail terms in China - Stern Hu, Matthew Ng and Charlotte Chou - were in effect considered Chinese nationals by the Chinese government, despite holding Australian passports, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Bob Carr, said.
Senator Carr, who is on his first official visit as Foreign Affairs Minister after replacing Kevin Rudd, said Chinese officials criticised Australia's military co-operation with the US as an outdated throwback to a Cold War-era alliance.
At a news conference in Beijing yesterday, Senator Carr said he raised "three consular cases" with his Chinese counterpart, the Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, and was told China did ''not recognise dual nationality".

Asked whether that meant they were considered Chinese nationals and not Australian nationals, Senator Carr responded: "I guess that's right".
Later, on the advice of the ambassador to China, Frances Adamson, he clarified that "the Chinese government does not recognise dual nationality but where Chinese citizens have renounced their Chinese nationality and have entered China on Australian passports we can gain access to them under our bilateral consular agreement".
Chinese nationals must formally apply to renounce their citizenship before taking on a different nationality.
The former Rio Tinto executive Stern Hu, and entrepreneurs Matthew Ng and Charlotte Chou were born in China but took up Australian citizenship.
"Our long-standing position is to seek more transparency in judicial processes in China. We think that's in the interest of more Australian business people moving here and working in China," Senator Carr said.
"The government is very mindful that these cases are being watched by the Australian business community and they are capable of affecting perceptions of the commercial environment in China."
One consular source said there had been growing concerns over apparent differences in the way foreign nationals were treated based on whether they were of ethnic Chinese descent. "It does appear that expatriates of Chinese descent are getting into more trouble," the source said.
Senator Carr said concerns about Australia's "enhanced military relationship" with the US - a reference to the decision to allow US marines to have a presence in Darwin - were raised in three meetings he had yesterday with officials of the Chinese foreign ministry, the military and the Communist Party's international department.
In a meeting with Mr Yang, Senator Carr said he had explained the historical context of the Australia-US relationship and "why they were effectively a cornerstone of Australian policy" and in effect in Australia's "DNA".
"I think their view can be expressed that the time for Cold War alliances have long since past," Senator Carr said of the Chinese response.
Mr Hu was sentenced last year to 10 years' jail after being found guilty of accepting bribes and stealing trade secrets as an executive with Rio Tinto.
In April, Mr Ng was sentenced to 11½ years' jail after his final appeal against bribery and other corporate charges was rejected. In May, Ms Chou was sentenced to eight years' jail for embezzlement relating to a private university she helped found in Guangzhou.

根据中国法律，你获得了外国国籍，那么你的中国国籍就自动丧失了。
根据上文，你必须正式到中国使领馆去申请放弃，否则仍认为你是中国人。
其实，他们需要你是外国人时你就是外国人，需要你是中国人时你就是中国人。
已经入籍澳大利亚的你，去申请放弃中国国籍了吗？
