Yesterday, a lot of people by Shanghai Public Security Bureau a policy to brush screen. Read: sudden attention! Overseas green card holders of Chinese or naturalized, will be forced to withdraw Chinese accounts, to meet these conditions, within one month "chopped off the root"
On 13 March, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau published on its official website the full text of the regulations on the Administration of Shanghai permanent residence, in which article 46 states:
This rule will be put into effect from May 1, 2018.
Yes, that's the rule. Everyone on the Internet noisy, some people, such as the exam, some people scolded the family.
Some people say, "I am still Chinese, who am I to sell my hukou?" Some people say, "this must be a rumor, again to deceive a hit." Some people worry about whether the rule means choosing one of the two between a "green card" and a Chinese hukou.
What about the truth?
The editor will straighten it out for you!
1, this rule is true!
Shanghai Public Security Bureau has officially released, you can visit the official website of Shanghai Public Security Bureau to view the original documents.
2, this is not a new rule!
Last night (March 21) 23:30, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau official Weibo @ police through train-Shanghai posted a letter saying that as early as 2003, the Ministry of Public Security promulgated and implemented 30 measures to facilitate the people and the people, clearly stipulating: to go abroad. Persons who leave the country for more than 1 year may not cancel their accounts, but those who settle abroad shall cancel their accounts.
In 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2015, the regulations on the Administration of permanent residence in Shanghai, which are revised in 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2015, all have provisions on the cancellation of permanent residence in Shanghai.
Article 46, which will come into effect on May 1, refines the operating procedures on the basis of the original regulations.
The Shanghai Public Security Bureau also said in an interview with Shangguan News in Jiefang Daily that the rule was based on the content of the upper law and was not self-created in Shanghai.
3, Shanghai will cancel its account in this way!
The Shanghai police said that after investigation, the public security organs have obtained evidence such as the holding of visas issued by the parties in the country of residence containing reasons such as immigration, residence, and the right of permanent residence, as well as the fact that they have lived in foreign countries for a long time. If it is determined that it is settled abroad, its account may be cancelled.
Okay, here's the truth. Let's clear a few mistakes.
1. Shanghai ≠ China
Yesterday, many social app official accounts wrote "China's new rules" China announced ", these can be regarded as the title party, creating panic.
As we all know, this is a regulation of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, not a regulation of the Ministry of Public Security of China. The regulations on the Management of permanent residence hukou in Shanghai can only govern persons registered in Shanghai, not those in the whole of China.
Some people worry that Shanghai is a pilot, and will be spread throughout the country in the future. It's possible. But as you know, this rule is already there, but the situation in China is complicated and many places have not been implemented. And this time Shanghai specially proposed "mandatory" one month deadline ", the feeling is moving real knife real gun.
But after all Shanghai is Shanghai, some pilot try to lose. Such as the past study abroad required to be forced to cancel the Chinese hukou, later rebound too big, also did not carry out.
Shanghai's hukou rules this time, a core consideration is likely to be related to Shanghai to control the total resident population.
According to the State Council's approval of the Shanghai Municipal Master Plan issued at the end of 2017, the goal of the Shanghai Urban Master Plan is to control the resident population at around 25 million by 2035, that is, in the next 17 years, Shanghai's resident population is only allowed to grow by about eight hundred thousand, with very limited room for growth and a great deal of pressure.
In fact, not just stay abroad, even if you leave Shanghai to live in the province will cause a lot of inconvenience to retain the Shanghai hukou, not only for green card holders.
2. Cancellation of account ≠ cancellation of nationality
Some people hear the cancellation of the account, feeling there is a "mother abandoned" the sense of loss. You don't have to, because
Cancellation of account is not equal to cancellation of nationality!
We all know that China has a strict hukou management system, hukou represents you are a resident of the location, enjoy the rights and benefits of the location.
Nationality represents the rights of citizens and the right of identity to enjoy the rights conferred by the state. Even if you have a foreign green card, as long as you do not join foreign nationality, you can still hold a Chinese passport, you are still Chinese, enjoy Chinese consular protection and other rights.
But if you join a foreign nationality, I'm sorry, Chinese nationality is automatically lost, because China does not recognize dual nationality.
Many Chinese also have Chinese hukou and passports because the Chinese authorities are unable to know at first that you are a foreigner. But this should be less and less in the future as China's institutions strengthen their management.
3, cancel your account as soon as you get the green card ≠
According to the regulations of the State Office for overseas Chinese, the term "settlement" of overseas Chinese means that Chinese citizens have acquired the right of permanent or permanent residence in the country and have resided in the country for two consecutive years, for a cumulative period of not less than 18 months.
Although Chinese citizens have not obtained the right of permanent or permanent residence in the country of residence, they have obtained legal residency status for more than 5 consecutive years (including 5 years) in the country of residence, and their cumulative residence in the country of residence within 5 years is not less than 30 months, which is regarded as overseas Chinese.
So although you have a foreign green card, but as long as you live in China, will not be cancelled account. The Shanghai Public Security Bureau also responded: "those who have not been permanently settled in foreign countries shall not be subject to cancellation of registered permanent residence within the meaning of these regulations."
So those foreign students, those who send abroad, or still live in the country long green card, ah, you can rest assured.
4, cancel account ≠ cannot recover!
If you have a foreign green card, you can still recover after you have been cancelled from your Chinese account, but only if you want to return to China and settle down. For each province, the time limit for residence is different. For example, Fujian Province is required to live in China for 60 consecutive days or a cumulative residence of 90 days.
Of course, if you want to resume your hukou, you should fill in the "horror" form-"Declaration of Voluntary abandonment of residence status abroad"! This is the PK. that the green card and the hukou choose from two.
5. Cancellation of account ≠ unable to change passport
Many people worry, no account and ID card, can not change passports, in fact, do not worry. If you are in your country of origin, refer directly to the local embassy consulate.
If you are still in China, the passport will expire, only provide overseas' green card 'and the original old passport, no longer need to provide my household registration information.
If you lose your Chinese passport at home, you can issue a certificate of residence registration at the police station and apply for the relevant certificate.
6. Annulment account ≠ uncollectible pension
Many people work at home and pay their pensions before going abroad. So, after the cancellation of the account, how to receive the pension?
The domestic rule is: "if he goes abroad to settle before he retires, his social security relationship will be terminated and his pension will be refunded to his personal account in full;"
In the case of retired expatriate settlers, they are required to provide an annual 'survival certificate' and receive a monthly pension. "
The overseas Chinese Affairs Office also said that as long as you have reached China's legal retirement age and completed retirement formalities before joining foreign nationality, you will still enjoy the same treatment as retirees at home.
Therefore, if you have retired after cancellation of your account, you will not be affected by your normal pension.
After understanding the above six misunderstandings, are you more comfortable?
The cancelled account is not the end of the world, but it can be quite inconvenient
Although national law provides for unimpeded access to a passport in the country, you stay at a hotel with a passport and many hotels refuse you. Although you can hold a passport online to book train tickets, but can not automatically pick up tickets, good line to the manual window to pick up tickets, remote collection also has to pay for the service.
As for the purchase of real estate, bank cards, hospital treatment, and so on, as long as the identity card related, there are 100 barriers to 100 inconvenient, it is simply countless books.
Take a look at the comments of netizens:
/ people who have not joined a foreign nationality have also been cancelled from their hukou ID cards. The regulations come out with their feet, similar to the original rule that "running a yellow light is counted as running a red light", but eventually they can only call it a stop.
/ We have always taken the PR not to consider naturalization, that is to say, we want to remain in China and let the motherland know that our overseas Chinese still love the motherland wherever we live. But is this not the rule that forces us to join foreign nationality?.
/ the old people with green cards, because the only child is abroad, can only stay overseas. Do you think I would like to, ah, it was not considered for the sake of family planning in the first place? And now we have to cancel our account and ID card, so that we old people how to return to the root? Let the child's loyalty and filial piety how two?
/ the green card is equivalent to a temporary residence permit abroad, and its origin is still in China, which is completely different from naturalization. If implemented according to this rule, green card holders have only two ways, either to enter foreign countries or abandon their husband to return home. All the test water starts from Shanghai, Shanghai people are easy to handle it.
/ Shanghai hukou is much more difficult than New Zealand PR. Can you give up your Shanghai hukou?
/ that was the case in the 1990s, when I went abroad with an PR visa and was forced to cancel my account and confiscate my identity card. So he entered (out) decisively.
/ will the mother's family still take care of the mother's family? Go straight to the bottom of the kettle.
Therefore, I hope the motherland can hear the voices of netizens, support a like.
