I applied for a patent in China. If you don't apply for foreign patents all the time, how long will you lose your right to apply for foreign patents?

I'll give you a correct and simple answer:

There are two kinds of foreign priority periods (1) inventions and utility models: 12 months; (2) Design and trademark: 6 months.

As long as the time for applying for invention or utility model in China does not exceed 12 months, publicity or not will not affect the novelty of applying for patent abroad.

But if your patent application has been published for more than 12 months, it will lose its novelty.

I have represented you in this case before, so if it doesn't take more than 12 months and the design doesn't take more than 6 months, it won't affect your application for going abroad.
