Passports Confiscated After Returning from Abroad — Chinese People Have No Way Out!

"The moment I came back, I got a call:
“Turn in your passport.”
Honestly, it feels like a violation of basic human rights.
Why should I hand over my passport? What law says I must?
Take my advice: if you don’t urgently need to go abroad, don’t bother applying for a passport now — it’s nothing but trouble.
From personal experience: my husband and I already have passports, but our child doesn’t. When we tried to apply for one, they refused. I asked, “What’s required to apply?” They said we needed an invitation. I asked, “An invitation for a two-year-old? From whom?” I told them, “I already have a passport. Why would I need to invite anyone?” They said, “You must invite an adult.” I asked again, “Why? What for?” No one at the immigration office could give a clear answer. They just refused to process it.
