Authorities to tighten rules for expatriate workers

China Daily  

进入英语学习论坛下载音频 去听写专区一展身手 A proposal for improving the laws and regulations for foreigners working in China was submitted to the National People's Congress on March 9, and preparation to amend the Law on Control of the Entry and Exit of Aliens is now under way. "Some expatriates come to China on tourist or business visas, but work here after entering the country," Zhang said. Work and business visas should also come with tighter restrictions, which would encourage foreigners to find work in certain industries but steer clear of others, he said. Zhang suggested that, in the future, expatriates wanting to work in China should apply for work permits through labor administration agencies before getting visas at police stations. According to the exit and entry administration of the Beijing municipal public security bureau, there are about 110,000 foreigners staying in the city for longer than six months, including 40,000 workers, 30,000 students, 30,000 foreigners who are not on a work or study visa and 10,000 diplomats or immediate relatives of diplomats.
