In China, the concept of citizen is consistent with nationality, and anyone with China nationality is a citizen of China. Therefore, the only condition to determine whether he is a citizen of our country is whether he has obtained China nationality. China stipulates that one or both parents are citizens of China, and I was born in China and have China nationality. If one or both parents are citizens of China, I was born in a foreign country and have China nationality, but one or both parents are citizens of China and have settled in a foreign country, I have foreign nationality at birth, but I don't have China nationality. My parents are stateless or their nationality is unknown, and I have settled in China. I was born in China and have China nationality.

The people refer to the masters of the country. People have different contents in different historical stages. At the present stage of our country, the people refer to all socialist workers, patriots who support socialism and patriots who support the reunification of the motherland.

The difference between citizens and people lies in: first, citizens are legal concepts and people are political concepts; Second, the scope of citizens is greater than the people. Citizens include all members of society, but people do not include all members of society. People deprived of political rights according to law and other hostile elements do not belong to the people, but they still belong to citizens.
