BEIJING: China's Ministry of Justice and National Immigration Administration (NIA) have held a symposium in Beijing to solicit public opinions on the draft rules on granting permanent residence to foreigners.
The attendees, including personnel of enterprises and public institutions, officials from communities, residents and scholars, agreed that by granting permanent residence, China can attract professionals and investment, which is a common practice for many countries to promote their development.
In a draft of revised rules released by the justice ministry on Feb 27, foreigners in certain professions could be eligible for permanent residence status immediately, regardless of how long they have lived in China. Company employees, grassroots leaders, residents and experts who attended a recent roundtable meeting organised by the justice ministry and National Immigration Administration said they recognised the need to attract foreigners with expertise and capital to boost the country's economic development.
