Is it possible? Was born in the US but have lived in Hk for a long time and parents hold HKSAR passports...

I would advise you to check with immigration dept. I've heard some saying it's ok to have Dual and some said no you can't.

If a "Chinese national" (meaning in the end if you "feel Chinese") then the PRC says that you can have only one citizenship: Chinese.

A person who is a Chinese citizen holding a permanent identity card of the HKSAR and has the right of abode (ROA) in the HKSAR is eligible to apply for a HKSAR passport. This passport is just a "travel document" and not determinative of citizenship in the eyes of US and Chinese law respectively.

Therefore, since the US allows only one citizenship and HK does not care either way, it is possible.
