Do you have / need a re-entry visa?

What stamp do you have?

Yes , they do check GNIB card when u return. Even some airlines check in Asia before boarding. Get a report and replacement card.

If you have the Irish Residence Card 4EUFam, I doubt it matters for your travel.

If your card is lost here than go to your local immigration office explain the situation and get a new one, i think you going to have to pay 150 for it unless you are spouse of EU/Irish visa. If your card is lost in China file a lost report in Chinese police station and keep a copy of it. Upon arrival here immigration officers do ask for GNIB card if they see a longer term visa on your passport but if you have the copy of the report it is not a biggie coz all your detail is on their system (sometimes immigration officers when issuing visa here write GNIB numbers on the back of the passport itself).

You are asked for both a Residence Card (4EUFam) and a GNIB card at the airport?

A person's Residence Card (Stamp 4 EUFam) comes in the form of a GNIB card. Or, a "Certificate of Registration" to be precise.

No worries. Here is a picture of a GNIB Certificate of Registration (colloquially known as a GNIB card):

This particular GNIB card / Certificate of Registration is also a Residence Card (note the "Stamp No:" is "4 EUFam").
