Mr Yao, 29, who plays for the Houston Rockets NBA team, has returned to the United States with his wife ahead of the birth of their child, which is reportedly due in July.
The unborn child has already captured the public imagination in China, with fans trying to guess how tall he or she will eventually grow to be.


Both Mr Yao, 7'4" tall, and his wife Ye Li, 6'2", are basketball players. Both of Mr Yao's parents were also basketball players. "This child will be a third generation basketball star!" wrote one anonymous commentator on a Chinese internet forum, with relish.
For the past few months, the couple have been in Shanghai, where Mr Yao has been recovering from a broken foot that has ended his NBA season.
However, the couple's return to the US could deprive China of a future talent, according to some nervous fans, if the child gets an American passport. "This will not only be a huge loss to Chinese basketball, but as far as feelings are concerned, also something very difficult for Chinese fans to accept," said the Chongqing Business Daily newspaper.
However, one internet commentator from Shanghai, named Kekeweiqi, wrote: "We have no right to interfere in the future of baby Yao. When baby Yao grows up, he or she will have the right to choose his or her own nationality and occupation." The Chongqing Business Daily quoted Mr Yao's agent, Zhang Mingji, as saying the issue was a family matter and not open to debate.
