In order to encourage overseas talents to live and work in China, the state has issued the Measures for Foreigners' Permanent Residence in China. This policy is designed to implement and protect the rights and interests of foreigners with Chinese permanent residence identity cards in work, life and entrepreneurship. For this reason, more and more foreigners have submitted applications for permanent residence in China, and some foreigners have been successfully granted permanent residence identity cards in China.
为了鼓励海外人才来华生活和工作，国家出台了《外国人在中国永久居留享有相关待遇的办法》。这个政策是为了落实并保障持有中国永久居留身份证的外籍人士在工作、生活和创业方面的权益。正因如此，越来越多的外籍人士提交了中国的永久居留申请，并且有一些外国人成功获批了中国永久居留身份证。
