As Nicole mentioned, you or your husband need to bring proof that you are of Chinese descent when you go register your babies birth. In our case it was my mom's HKID of 40 years ago on which it states she is Chinese. It can be anything. If you bring something from one of your parents, also bring proof of your relationship with your parents (eg your birth certificate). They won't give your bb HK permanent residency based on looking Chinese and speaking Chinese.
Will my baby get a HK passport?

They gave my daughter permanent residency based on my hubby "looking" and speaking Chinese, being born in HK and having a Chinese name - no "proof" other than that, and my hubby has renounced his Chinese nationality so does not have a 3 star permanent ID card. Nothing "said" he was Chinese. I do think it's best to bring proof, but they don't always want it. It probably depends on who you get on the day.
