The schedule of China's Work Permit & Expert Permit Reform

The reform was initiated in Oct 2016 among Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hebei Provice, Anhui Province, Shandong Province, Guangdong Province, Sichuan provice and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. According to local newspapers, Hebei province issued its 1st Work Permit to a South Korean on 7th Nov 2016; Sichuan provice issued its 1st Working Permit to an American who own several companies in Chengdu on 8th Nov 2016.
