Are tourist or family visit visas now difficult to obtain for ethnically Han Chinese people?
I recently came upon a social media post from someone who was having difficulty getting a tourist visa for China because she was ethnically Han Chinese.
Other commentators said it has become difficult as well.
Basically she was at the China Visa Application Office in Hong Kong and had to prove that she was no longer a citizen of China. Despite giving the immigration officer her USA Passport, parents' USA passports, and even a birth certificate, it still wasn't enough to prove that she wasn't still a Chinese citizen because of her Han Chinese heritage.
The commentators on her post said that a lot of immigration nowadays looks on ethnicity to determine visa eligibility.
Has there been a recent policy change for Han Chinese people applying for Chinese visas?
