Although China does not permit dual citizenship in general, it does make exception for Hong Kong and Macau residents, Nationality law of the People's Republic of China - Wikipedia For your convenience, here is the excerpt. Chinese nationals who are residents of Hong Kong and Macau cannot automatically lose Chinese nationality under Article 9 even after acquiring foreign nationality, such persons would only lose Chinese nationality if they renounce Chinese nationality. In this case, their non-Chinese nationality or citizenship is simply ignored by the Chinese authorities. Thus, if indeed Meng has Kong Kong PR, she would continue to be a Chinese citizen even after she became a Canadian citizen unless she has taken the step to renounce her Chinese citizenship. However, we dont know if she became a Hong Kong PR or Canadian citizen first. If she became Canadian first without her Hong Kong PR, she would have lost her Chinese citizenship automatically! In short, the Chinese government can protest if she is still a Chinese citizen, but Im not sure if she is.
