travel with dual passport (UK passport and Chinese Passport) from Japan to South Korea

I think your first paragraph is totally correct. Also when returning, showing the Chinese passport would be correct, because that's where the residence permit is. She would want to be admitted as a resident into Japan. On top of that, Japan has suspended all visa free travel into Japan which the British passport might needed a visa. At least one of my Canadian friend did his 3 month tourist visa before he went Tokyo. If the airline ask why she has two passports, I don't think that's the airline's duty to determine if dual citizenship is allowed on a Chinese citizenship. Having the kind similar issue myself.

Unless China is actually involved in the trip (if you transit via China for instance), you can safely ignore any rules about China not allowing dual citizenship.

Just show her Chinese passport with the Japanese Residence card to the check-in counter and when entering Japan. Basically, you're just doing the exact opposite of what you did on the way out.

Outbound:

  • Japan check-in: show UK passport
  • Japan exit passport control: show Chinese Passport and Japanese Residence Permit
  • South Korea entrance passport control: show UK passport

Return:

  • South Korea check-in: show Chinese Passport and Japanese Residence Permit
  • South Korea exit passport control: show UK passport
  • Japan entrance passport contro: show Chinese Passport and Japanese Residence Permit
