Birth date – changed from 1950 to 1949. But it may have been 1948. Earthlyreason ( talk) 11:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I would argue this is VERY relevant: When I heard that Zeman had adopted Chinese citizenship, and that China does not allow dual nationality, the first thought in my mind was "why in God's name would ANYONE give up their Canadian citizenship for a Hong Kong SAR passport?" Knowing that he can regain it changes everything, as does knowing that he can also easily obtain an EU passport. By the way, Canadians, unlike citizens of the US, are NOT taxed on their income unless they are resident in Canada, so it matters not how much money he makes / has, if he does not live in Canada, he does not pay taxes there. The US, by the way, is the ONLY country in the world to demand its citizens to pay taxes even when they do not even live there (the Philipines used to be the other one of the almost 200 countries in the world to do this, but they abolished that policy sometime in the 1990s). It does not answer the question though of why he would give up his Canadian citizenship... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nealmcgrath ( talk • contribs) 07:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

In the section that says "Allan Zeman's father died when he was eighty years old, and he started working at the age of ten." This is unclear: Was Alan's father 80 when he died, or was Alan 80 when his father died? And WHO was ten when he started working, Alan or his father? This needs to be clarified by someone who knows the answer. User:nealmcgrath —Preceding undated comment added 07:56, 4 July 2011 (UTC).
Has the fact that Zeman holds a Home Return Permit been independantly confirmed? I know many ethnic Chinese who were not able to get them and the reason the HK Immigration Department provided was that they were not born in Hong Kong or China, but born overseas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neilmcgrath ( talk • contribs)
