CHINA'S national legislature adopted a new law yesterday that will target foreigners living and working in China illegally, the official Xinhua News Agency said, adding that the government encourages citizens to inform on suspected illegal workers.
The law approved by the National People's Congress Standing Committee now requires foreigners to obtain valid documents to work in China, Xinhua said.
It allows for employers to be fined 10,000 yuan (US$1,580) for every foreigner hired illegally, Xinhua said.
Authorities encourage citizens to report clues regarding foreigners who may work in China illegally, and ask universities and language schools to share employment information of students, said Xinhua.
In recent years, foreigners on short-term visas have managed to live and work in China for extended periods by dashing to the border and renewing their permits repeatedly.
Vice public security minister Yang Huanning was quoted by Xinhua as saying the number of foreigners working in China tripled in the past 11 years.
