as under the interpretation, the relevant forms of british nationality are not recognized as acquired after "settling" in a foreign country: the british nationals (overseas) status held by people of chinese descent born in china (including hong kong), and the british citizenship held by chinese hong kong residents under the british nationality selection scheme (british nationality (hong kong) act 1990). furthermore, hong kong chinese nationals who hold such passport or have a right of abode in countries outside the people's republic of china are not entitled to british (or any other nation's) consular protection inside the people's republic of china (including hong kong, macau and mainland china), owing to article 3 of the nationality law and the master nationality rule. such persons are also "not" allowed to renounce their chinese nationality by renunciation (unless holding another foreign nationality), as china consider such persons will become stateless upon losing chinese nationality (as the chinese authorities does not recognize the british nationality of such persons).

the next important step in the history of dutch nationality was the 1848 constitution which stated that (1) a person had to be dutch to possess the right of nationality and (2) all those with dutch citizenship have the ability to be employed in public services. in this way, nationality law became part of public law. however, the definition of nationality remained in the code of civil law. this created a problem because not all those defined dutch by the 1838 civil code were necessarily privileged to enjoy public rights. because of this, a new nationality law was implemented in 1850 in order to limit the inclusiveness of the nationality law based on the french system. nevertheless, the new 1850 nationality law did not replace the 1838 civil code and this in turn led to the creation of a double nationality; political nationality as stated in 1850, and civil nationality of the 1838 civil code. the uncertainties were eliminated in 1892 with the implementation of the nationality act which replaced both 1838 and 1850 nationality acts. the new law was based on the german system of "jus sanguinis" and excluded all previous mention of the principle of "jus soli". the new dutch nationality law survived until the amendments of 1985.
