Eighty-two-year old Joan Hinton, who has been living in 皇冠体育app in the past 50
years, said it is a "historical moment" to receive the "green card" and become a

entering and exiting 皇冠体育app," said Hinton.

allowed to relocate freely on 皇冠体育app's mainland. At present, major Chinese cities
such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhouand Chongqing started to issue green cards
to foreigners.
