Mainland China passport holders can enter Taiwan in some cases, but a passport alone won’t clear immigration without the right Taiwan-side permit. You’ll see people online say “yes” and “no” like it’s a single rule. It isn’t. The real answer depends on one detail: what kind of “Chinese passport” you mean, and where the traveler

Yes, small cuticle clippers are allowed in carry-on and checked bags on U.S. flights if they’re plain grooming tools with no hidden blade.

Yes, dual citizenship can let you hold both passports if you meet each country’s nationality law and keep each passport valid. Holding two passports sounds simple.
