[quote=MIKHAILSEMENOV,607478]My family are all British now. They refused to give my daughter a visa in the Visa Centre, because my wife did not have permanent residence when our daughter was born: we had been married for 19 months at that time. We were married in the UK. My wife had limited leave to remain.
I am British. Anyway, we were married in Britain and my wife was going to be settled in Britain. She got permanent residence 8 months after our daughter was born. Our daughter has a British passport and a British name.
In the Chinese Consulate, they said that my wife should invent a Chinese name for our daughter. 
It is not clear now, if we decide to go through all this process, how will our daughter be able to leave China, if the names are going to be different in her British passport and the Travel document and there will be no British visa in the travel document? 
Another problem with this interpretation of Article 5 is: my wife and I are British, if our 10-year-old daughter is stopped in China we will not be able to go to the British Embassy to defend her.
She will be treated in China as a Chinese citizen.[/quote]
