Chinese fans worry Yao Ming’s baby will be American

BEIJING—Chinese basketball fans want to know: Will Yao Ming’s baby be an American?

The Houston Rockets centre recently returned to the United States with wife Ye Li. That prompted speculation among his followers that the baby girl due this summer could be born in America.

Chinese fans online have said that would be a betrayal of China — in part because it could deny the country a future star for the national team. Ye is also a basketball player, and stands 6 feet, 2 inches tall, well short of Yao’s 7-6.

Yao’s baby would automatically be an American citizen if born in the U.S. She also could claim Chinese citizenship as the child of Chinese nationals, though Chinese law does not recognize dual citizenship.

lol We could have the next Yao Ming 20 years from now playing on the American olympic team vs China. How AWESOME would that be?

You had to ruin it. Wait, isn't it that if he has the kid in China he can't have any more kids, or they have to get the girl aborted? And if he has it in America he can has as many as he wants?
