CHINA will issue more green cards and ease restrictions for visa-free entry to encourage more talented individuals from overseas to work in the country, a senior security official said today.
"We will increase the eligibility quota for green cards and consider extending the applicable scope for duty-free entry and multiple-entry visas in order to make China more competitive in soliciting foreign investment and talent," said Yang Huanning, Vice Minister of Public Security.
The number of foreigners who stayed in China for at least six months rose to 600,000 in 2011 from less than 20,000 in 1980, according to Yang.
By the end of 2011, 4,752 foreigners were given a Permanent Residence Card, or the Chinese equivalent of a green card.
In another sign of the country's efforts to attract talented individuals from overseas, a new visa category titled "talent introduction" was added to a draft law on China's exit and entry administration.
