We need 10 years VISA same like U.S now. not 永久居留 or Q1 VISA that decide by local policers in China. My friend got a Q1 VISA last year then she didn't get any more days in China just one month given by 领事馆 here, so she paied 1500 yuan as fine for over stay at beijing custom. Why it's so difficuty for chinese embassy to make things better. hope to give a anwser ASAP.
