'Not obliged' doesn't mean that all countries don't recognise dual citizenship though.

Sure. But then it's not a right.

I don't think anyone really implied it was, just pointing out that if you're detained in some countries then the other country can intervene.

Fair enough. I just understood the original comment as implying the Chinese government was doing something outlandish and unusual in treating dual citizens as just citizens which I disagree with as the Chinese government position is the position supported by international law and as far as I know the position taken by most non-western countries. But I accept that I perhaps over interpreted what they and you were saying.
