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:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
