nationality/of Chinese race shall provide for the full recognition as British subjects of any Chinese who has been granted British naturalisation papers, local or imperial, or whose British birth is authenticated by the appropriate British authorities, provided he takes steps (for which machinery must be instituted) definitely to divest himself of his Chinese nationality.
