There were calls for a boycott of South Beauty, one of the country's best-known restaurant chains, after its founder Zhang Lan obtained a second nationality, the state-run China Daily reported on Tuesday.
It did not say which country issued the new passport.
Beijing does not allow dual citizenship and those who take a second nationality lose their right to a Chinese passport.
