I intend on staying in China for the rest of my life.
I love it here. The people, culture, food, etc suites me just fine.
For some westerners it doesn't, but that is why they make vanilla and chocolate. Because we are all individuals with different tastes, different outlooks and different values.
I wish the ultra right and ultra left would understand that. A one size fits all attitude alienates people.
However, even if I could become an Chinese citizen I wouldn't want to do that. Because an American passport is a hell of a lot easier to use in travel, whereas a Chinese passport can make it very difficult to visit some countries.
I'm not a nationalist person, but in my book, the USA comes first. After all, it was where I lived most of my life. If it was to my advantage to become a Chinese citizen, then I'd do it. However, as indicated above, its not.
Signed, an ex pat from the USA living in the heart of China
Peace

It doesn't mean you can't go back to America, it only means that you're going to China forever. You still get to choose if you change your mind and if you want to come back. I don't think America decides if you can't come back. Why do you ask?

I assume you're not a Chinese citizen and have the passport of the USA, i.e. with this passport you can go back to the US any time you like. If you want to apply for Chinese citizenship and passport you can only do so if you're of Chinese heritage since they apply the jus sanguinis (law of the blood) which says that only Chinese people can become Chinese citizens. If you get a Chinese passport you have to give up your other passport since there's no dual citizenship in China.
I recommend keeping your US passport since it's much more useful than the Chinese passport. Also let me ask you a question, why is it that you want to emigrate to China? Make sure this is what you really want before you do it.

If you do forever it doesn't mean you can't come back just you won't be coming back. If you haven't done anything wrong you can probably come back whenever you want depending on your immigration status.

unless you keep your american citizenship, or apply for chinese citizenship and use a chinese passport to come to america as a visitor. Chances of going back is rare, as china doesn't let people out of their country often if you're a chinese citizen.

I found a great site for information about china. I have been there several times and it always seems to help me with my planning. www.itsaboutchina.com. You can in contact with several tour guides directly. Which is really great.
forever is a long time.

The word "forever" implies you'll never come back, so yes.

Forever means that maybe you can but you do not.
