I am not doubting what is being said, but does anyone have an English source for this story so I can read more about it?

Thank you, interesting, although it appears to be focused on the technology sector, but still a step towards the right direction, if not a step IN the right direction just yet.

Hugh.G.Rection:

pogger, totally agree, when I say it's a step towards the right direction I mean in that apparently they are thinking of allowing immigration at all. How many times have you heard, read or been told, "China is not a country of immigration". Yes, I know that the investment package 'green card' has been here for a while but look at the numbers a few hundred a year?

 

There are quite a few, (if not a huge amount) of people who due to marriage and / or other reasons would love to take up such an offer, even in light of the much lower salaries. Indeed, if it was not for the Chinese education system I could have been one of them.

this is huge, considering that China historically didnt give green cards, meaning that you could live here for 50 yrs and not get a green card.

Normally, for any expatriate to get a green card in another country, he/she must at least spend nine years living there, he must dominate the language and culture of that country and must strictly obey the laws of the country. 

ten years is fine and fair giving the number of  habitants that China contains, the difficulty of the language the complexity of her culture.

Can anyone tell me where to apply for the "green card" in Pudong, Shanghai...???

981977405:

At the main Exit-and-Entry Bureau of the PSB in Shanghai.  I hope that you meet all the requisites, though, for the "D" visa.  You may be in for quite a surprise, otherwise.

yaa..10 years is because in those 10 years 99% applicant will withdraw their application for Green card due to frustration and then then government will come with their own report card and will announce that "Look we provided green card to 100% applicant"

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
