Cho is one of the lucky green

BEIJING Cheap Ryan Ramczyk Jersey , Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Nigel Jones, 51, a British who has been working in China for 15 years, hopes to become a permanent Chinese resident.

Director of the international program at a pre-school in southwest China's Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Jones married a Chinese woman eight years ago and is a father to two boys.

"I want to be able to settle down Cheap Marshon Lattimore Jersey , without having to worry about renewing my visa every year," Jones said.

Jones is one of 98 foreign Chengdu spouses in WeChat group "Chengdu Dads." Many other members of the group are in a similar situation, so last week's news about a more open permanent resident application process may have brought them some cheer.

The new process promises better services, including more flexible criteria, a simplified application and shorter approval time.

It sounds encouraging but, "it is also important to see how they carry it out Cheap Cameron Jordan Jersey ," Jones said. He applied for permanent residence in 2012 but has not received a result.

"Every time I asked about it, they say there is no problem, but after three years, they told me there was a record on my files which has delayed my application," Jones said.

A Chinese green card is one of the hardest to obtain with only around 5,000 issued since 2004 Cheap Adrian Peterson Jersey , when the policy was introduced. That compares with about 600,000 foreigners currently living in China.

Without a green card, foreigners have problems purchasing real estate, applying for credit cards and buying financial products.

"Without a permanent resident permit we are always treated as a 'Lao Wai' (foreigner)," said Michael Dann, an Australian who has been working in Hefei Cheap Michael Thomas Jersey , Anhui Province for 11 years. He has a cafe in the city and said the biggest inconvenience for him is the annual 50,000 U.S.dollar limit on remitting overseas from China. The lack of specified guidelines for foreigners to apply for visas and certificates in China only adds to the inconvenience.

Trevor Manetoa, a New Zealander and another Chengdu Dad, said for financial security for him and his family he needs a more open residency policy. "I don't want a long distance relationship with my family and I wouldn't be able to support them without being here in China," he said.

Despite the easing, the green card is still limited. According to the bureau of foreign experts' affairs in Anhui Cheap Drew Brees Jersey , there are only about 100 foreigners in the province who have obtained green cards.

Professor Cho Sung-hye from the Republic of Korea has been working in Hefei University for nearly 20 years. Having made contributions to local education and employment and the communication between the Chinese and ROK governments, Cho is one of the lucky green card holders. She regards the permanent residency permit an honor.

Meng Ping, manager of the Golden Apple kindergarten in Chengdu, hopes that the threshold for permanent residency can be lowered even further.

Her kindergarten now employs 51 foreign teachers, but due to visa restrictions, only a few of them stay in the long-term.

"Besides universities and national core industries Wholesale New Orleans Saints Jerseys , fundamental education also needs foreign talent, and hopefully one day they will be able to stay in China without having to worry about too many things," she said.

For Nigel Jones, no green card means no clear future. He is hoping a stable home is not too far in the future.

If you are experiencing ill health, you may also perceive that life is worse than it has ever been. Being overweight, eating poorly Wholesale Saints Jerseys , lack of exercise, lack of sleep, not coping properly with stress – each of these things can contribute to poor overall health. It is not necessary to take drastic measures in order to improve your health such as not eating meat or anything extreme. To feel more energized and alert every day, all you need to do is add a few healthy routines to your everyday regimen. The following tips will help you become healthier by following these simple steps.

Add Fruit to Your Diet: It is a good idea to eat fruit every day to promote good health. How many times a week do you actually have fruit? Eating fruit on a regular basis contributes to our overall health because of the vitamin content within them. Fruit is full of fiber that you need and also is low in carbs. A snack substitute to Oreos or cookies is fruit. Your snack time should migrate from unhealthy food to healthy choices like eating a banana or an apricot. By choosing to eat fruit, not only will you be more healthy, but you will not gain or sustain as much extra weight as you would eating junk food.

Physical Movement: You can make great strides in the health department when you apply physical exercise daily. You will not fritter your time away in a gymnasium. Think about simple things like parking your car on the other side of the car park and walking that little bit further Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys , or walking to the corner store instead of driving. No matter how minimal your improvement may seem, even the slightest physical addition can make a difference. This is because your respiratory system will be stronger and so will your heart muscle.

Ongoing Meditation: Instead of trying to become like a monk in a remote village, you could try more refined forms of meditation. Yet it’s possible to meditate and get enormous benefits out of just a few minutes a day. Learning to meditate can help to reduce stress levels. Stress has been shown to be a gateway to health problems such as depression, insomnia, and heart attacks. To meditate wherever you may be Cheap Saints Jerseys , sit in a comfortable position in a quiet location. Concentrate on your breathing, and the motion of your chest with every breath. By doing this, the things that stress you will not seem as emotional or difficult as they did before. Regular meditation can work wonders on physical ailments, and you will notice them slowly dissipating over time.
