Can I enter and leave Hong Kong & China with two different passports?
I am a dual citizen of USA and Australia. I am currently in Hong Kong on a student visa with my US passport. I was wondering if I can exit Hong Kong (using my US, of course), and then enter China with my Australian passport. Then when I return, I would exit China on my Australian, and then reenter Hong Kong on my US passport. Is this situation possible at all?

Even though China and Hong Kong are part of the same country, they currently have different administrative procedures. Yes, you can enter/exit Hong Kong on one passport and enter/exit China on another. The border stations are not linked to each other to determine who is doing what under what passport. EDIT: Special note to Shimmy . . . because a visa for a United States citizen is significantly more expensive than visas for citizens from other countries, it is not uncommon at all for those with recognized dual citizenship to use different passports for different travel purposes. It's one of the benefits of having dual citizenship. There is nothing illegal, immoral or even evasive about the process.
