And their foreign spouse and minor children can also get a green card!

Impression conclusion
For many foreign Chinese, wherever they are, the motherland is the only home.
However, many Chinese have no way back when they get to foreign countries.
The validity of the return visa is short, it is troublesome to apply for a work visa, and it is even more difficult to get a permanent residence.
With the implementation of the New deal next month, the conditions for overseas Chinese to return to work and apply for green cards will be greatly relaxed. For many Chinese who have been naturalized in Australia for many years, they can finally fulfill their aspirations for many years. Moreover, the New deal also allows foreign spouses and children to apply for green cards at the same time, which is also a benefit that has never been seen before.
With China`s foreign policy becoming more and more open, and the introduction of Chinese talents has been increasing, I believe that, in the near future, whether to join foreign nationality will no longer be a problem for overseas Chinese.
