 Both the People's Republic of China and Taiwan (which controls parts of Fukien) maintain high level relationships with the overseas Chinese populations.Both maintain cabinet level ministries to deal with overseas Chinese affairs, and many local governments within the PRC have overseas Chinese bureaus.The Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China, which does not recognise dual citizenship, provides for automatic loss of PRC citizenship when a former PRC citizen both settles in another country "and" acquires foreign citizenship.
