      No, they can’t. Only Chinese citizens. And it is notoriously difficult for foreigners to become citizens. It basically never happens unless they are already of Chinese descent. There are a few exceptions in which foreigners who have performed something that is considered an extraordinary service for China being given honorary citizenship and/or membership in the CPC. This used to happen occasionally in the past (particularly people who helped China during the revolutionary period), but nowadays i haven’t heard of it happening anymore.
