(2) After China's economic take-off, celebrities began to join China nationality.
After entering the 2 1 century, some new phenomena have appeared in the naturalization of foreigners in China. With the strengthening of China's strength and the expansion of its market, some sports and performing stars have also started to become citizens of China for the needs of their careers and development.
Among them, Huatian became a citizen of China to represent China in the equestrian events of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In addition, Fang Zuming, Donnie Yen and others also naturalized in China due to their career development.

Second, what should I do if I want to be a "China person"?
According to the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China passed by the National People's Congress in 1980, if a person has non-China nationality, there are only three ways to acquire China nationality.
Article 7 stipulates that "foreigners or stateless persons" become China people: 1, and you are a close relative of China people; 2. Settle in China; 3. There are other legitimate reasons.
The first one, we can understand, is to look for the aura of foreign quota blessing for China people.
Second, if you want to live in China, the premise is that you can live in China. Settling down means living in China all the time. In other words, a permanent residence permit is required. This thing is called green card in the United States, and here, we call it China green card.
According to public information, during the ten years from 2004 to 20 13, the total number of people who obtained China green cards was 7,356, with only a few hundred people each year.
Thirdly, foreigners will become China people more easily in the future.
In recent years, China has begun to show a more open attitude.
For example, the threshold for obtaining a green card in China has been lowered to allow more foreigners to become quasi-China people.
20 15 the Ministry of public security of China made an extension according to the administrative measures for the examination and approval of foreigners' permanent residence in China.
For example, the scope of applicants will be expanded to seven types of enterprises and institutions, including national laboratories, state key laboratories, national engineering laboratories, national engineering research centers, nationally recognized enterprise technology centers, national engineering technology research centers, and foreign-invested R&D centers. The above-mentioned cattle working here can apply for permanent residence in China.
In addition, some local policies are being further relaxed.
For example, Shanghai. In 20 15, Shanghai announced the "Implementation Measures for Serving the Construction of Science and Technology Innovation Centers with Global Influence and Implementing a More Open Policy of Introducing Overseas Talents (Trial)" (what a long name ……), which once again expanded the scope of people who can apply for green cards.
Recognized foreign high-level talents can apply for a work-related residence permit valid for 5 years with a letter of recommendation; After 3 years, you can apply for a permanent residence permit for foreigners on the recommendation of the employer.
The policy is immediate. In 20 16, the Ministry of Public Security of China approved 1576 foreigners to stay permanently in China, with a year-on-year increase of 163%.
Now, China's "demographic dividend" is disappearing. Under the irreversible trend of globalization and free trade, it is inevitable to introduce more foreign talents. The strategy of talent internationalization is not only to send our talents out, but also to attract foreign talents.
Only by lowering the threshold of "China Green Card" can more foreigners stay in China.
