Art 4 must be construed as referring to the parents nationality at the time of the child s birth; a parent s subsequent naturalisation does not automatically confer Chinese nationality on a child born non-Chinese; the NPCSC Explanations do not operate to permit automatic conferral or general dual nationality in such circumstances; applicant therefore is not a Chinese national and may only seek naturalisation under Arts 7 and 8.
