    A visa is a temporary permit. You work, you save money, you transfer the money back home after proving you've paid taxes on it, and leave.

    Well this isn't true at all. There are permanent and temporary visas.

      Nope! Techincally speaking China has a visa, which is a short term stay, and a residence permit, which is a 1 or 2 year stay.

      Permanent residence is heavily restricted to the highly educated or to high value talents. So much so that it's a joke, honestly. Most people who qualify for it wouldn't want it, for tax reasons.
