That is true.
But not knowing how to converse in BM is another thing.
U ever see:
- A Japanese who doesn't speak Japanese?
- A Korean who doesn't speak Korean?
- A Chinese from China can't speak Mandarin?
- An Indian from India who can't speak any India language?
Actually yes. Many Chinese Americans have Chinese passport as well but they speak zero Chinese. They’re either born in US or migrated as a child.
China will treat them as Chinese citizens and not American citizen if they’re in China as it doesn’t recognise dual nationalities.
People who don’t speak national language is very common among overseas born citizens or migrated as a child. In the US there’s many European Americans with dual citizenships but they can’t speak their native European language. They all acquired European citizenship through their parents.
In fact, just two days ago I got to know a Korean American who doesn’t speak Korean. She recently got her citizenship by serving as a nurse in US Army after six years. But she cannot speak Korean as she grew up in the US. Her parents don’t have US citizenship or green card that’s why she never have American citizenship either. But now that she had acquired US citizenship, all her family members get to stay in US indefinitely (I think all of them get GC through her citizenship)
