China’s New Exit-Entry Law Targets Illegal Foreigners

With the aim of curbing the illegal entry, stay and employment of foreigners as well as clarifying punishments for people who enter, live or work in the country illegally, China’s top legislature, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), concluded its 27th meeting and passed a new Exit-Entry Administration Law on June 30. The new Exit-Entry Administration Law is enacted to cope with the rising trend of immigration and to target new problems and situations faced by the Exit-Entry Administration. The new law integrates and improves upon the two already existing laws (the PRC Law on the Control of the Exit and Entry of Citizens and the PRC Law on the Control of the Exit and Entry of Aliens), and has several new features. The new Exit-Entry Administration Law will take effect on July 1, 2013, with the two previous laws scheduled to be abolished concurrently. - See more at:
