    "so where do they deport the pro-Tibetan Chinese people? Tibet!!"

    Maybe they are never seen again.

    Sometimes "clever" just isn't funny.

    I'm with imagawa, I think pro-Tibetan Chinese get a free trip to the re-education camp.

    So she's a Londoner AND a Japanese? I thought Japan didn't allow dual citizenship.

    Japan allows dual citizenship to children, typically expecting a choice to be made either way when they reach twenty years old, although this is often extended into their 20s.

    I guess with her probably never having even stepped foot in Japan she has slipped through the net and the decision has yet to be made, even though she's now 25. When her current passport runs out she'll be asked to make a decision and if she doesn't pick Japan then she'll be just be a Londoner with a Japanese mum, which'll still probably be enough to get her in the papers over here on a slow day for the news.

    funny doesn't have to be "clever" either

    It was actually a genuine question. If they go to that much trouble to deport someone and their own expense rather than detain them for further questioning I have to imagine they do something to their own citizens who they can't simply get rid of.

    There were a whole bunch of nationalities represented in the list of deported, amongst them some Japanese.
