I'm not talking about physically returning to the other country, just that you have to file any paperwork with country X, not with the US government. Country X doesn't then forward the paperwork to the US, and I'm sure some countries wouldn't if asked, for example, China.

As for citizenship status in China, that may be how the law is worded, but it isn't enforced. We left China with a Chinese passport that was still good and Chinese citizenship documents. Someone like Eileen Gu retained citizenship due to her mother's citizenship. In practice, the Chinese government isn't revoking citizenship, in part I expect due to the problem of not knowing who is given citizenship in other countries.
