It is as I understand it very difficult to get full citizenship if neither of your parents are themselves Chinese nationals.

You can get permanent residence status which is similar to citizenship but you have no political rights (can’t vote, can’t participate in certain processes, can’t join the communist party) by marrying a Chinese national and also through a naturalization process after living there for a significant amount of years OR having significant technical knowledge in a highly desired field. This is what most people would consider good enough as short of high crimes you’re not really subject to being deported and have most other non-political rights Chinese nationals enjoy.

It might be slightly more likely if you have the means to immigrate to and apply for citizenship with the special administrative region of Hong Kong though you’d still need to live there for many years and/or marry a national to succeed. Quite honestly unless you have existing connections there or can get a well-paying job in the city I’d recommend against putting all your hopes in it as the cost of living is quite high and it could be challenging and the advantage is likely to be minor (like going to the more lax DMV in your area for a driving test).

You’ll need to understand both reading, writing, and speaking a recognized language such as Mandarin and be able to integrate into society so this is a process of many years. You should get started learning the language now if you have an interest in residing there long-term in any form.

It’s definitely possible but it’s a path of many steps and you should be prepared to accept having only permanent residence status as the possible end-point.

A pretty quick Google would answer that question… No, it’s not true.
