Likewise, a [[Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport|Hong Kong passport]] differs from [[Chinese passport|China's mainland passport]] by providing additional advantages.{{Example needed|date=June 2023}} Recently{{when|date=June 2020}} though, the Hong Kong government has drastically reduced the quota of births set for non-local women in public hospitals.

As the [[United States]] practices [[Birthright citizenship in the United States|birthright citizenship]], all children born in the US automatically have US citizenship at birth.

As of 2012, the Northern Mariana Islands were experiencing an increase in births by Chinese citizens because birth tourism there had become cheaper than in Hong Kong.
