@AM yeh we were forced to pick a Chinese name to put on her birth cert also – then later can change the ‘official name’ back in Canada and re-issue relevant IDs.

When you say don’t plan on using the UK passport unless permanently moving back to the UK – since your son will require the exit visa, at that point, they’d revoke his hukou & Chinese ID anyways yeh? And the question becomes whether they would deem the child illegally being in China somehow since they had a foreign ID/citizenship issued (date will be in the passport!) but did not properly revoke the Chinese ID, and maybe some sort of penalty or fine or whatever for not going through the process then and getting appropriate visa sorted? No idea, just spitballing, that whole spaghetti shit mess is what I’m mostly concerned with..
