"In December 2010 I brought my Chinese citizen fiancée over to the USA via K1 visa and married her. Just this month she received her conditional permanent resident status (green card). She still owns her condo in Tangu/Teda Tianjin"

"I have read around that foreigners are only allowed to own property in China in certain areas, property that foreigners own in restricted areas can be seized by the government. Is Tangu/Teda Tianjin an approved area for foreigners to own property? If not, when my wife becomes a US citizen in 3 years will her condo in Tianjin be seized because she is a foreigner or will she be grandfathered in?"

QUESTION - The above is from an old post. Is the above true?

My fiancee owns a home Nanjing. She is planning on keeping the property and her parents will live there. She will be coming to the USA in late summer/early fall, hopefully. After we marry and she becomes a US Citizen she could lose her house to the government? Really? Why? How? She will have dual citizenship, right? Chinese and American.......

There is no dual citizenship with China.

Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 9: Any Chinese national who has settled abroad and who has been naturalized as a foreign national or has acquired foreign nationality of his own free will shall automatically lose Chinese nationality.

Mostly, PRC people get around this problem by having a relative own the property.

Usually, the 'family unit' and 'extended family unit' is/are very strong, build up financial portfolio.

You might want to talk to the Daddy about this.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
