[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It happens more often than you think.  My DC was an Elite Olympic sport athlete, still holds several college records and had a few friends who parents where from another country.  [b]They got dual citizenship[/b] for the chance to compete, wasnt as good as my DC. DC finished top 10 in trials / NCAA, but never made an Olympic team.[/quote]

I imagine Gu could have made the US team? She chose to compete for China.[/quote]

Dual citizenship is not the same as two citizenships.[/quote]

Huh? Please explain. [/quote]

Dual citizenship is mutual recognition of your double citizenship countries by these two countries; that is, they realize you are a citizen of both and recognize you as such, with mutual rights and responsibilities.  It is usually governed by a treaty between two specific countries.

Two citizenships is just that; you hold two passports.  Or more.  When you're in one country, you're treated as a citizen of that country. When you're in the other country, you're treated as a citizen of that country.  Both countries behave as if in their eyes, your "other" citizenship does not exist. [/quote]
