>Only about 1000 people get Chinese passport per year.

i suspect that's a combination of han biased policy (as mentioned in a sibling comment), and the fact that nobody wants a chinese passport. china doesn't allow dual citizenships[1], so for a chinese with "western" citzenship, getting a chinese passport is a downgrade, unless you really sure that you want to stay in china.
