Chinese officials have integrated work permit cards with social security cards, eliminating the need for physical work permit cards.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: The new system eliminates the need for physical work permit cards for those arriving in China. Authorities are also expanding the functionality of the new electronic social security card. The government hopes the enhancements will create more unified systems and better streamline administrative procedures for foreign nationals. The integration aligns with the global digitalization trend where governments are trying to reduce reliance on physical documentation and digitize immigration processes for additional convenience and efficiency.
