China welcomes overseas Chinese who can prove their ethnicity.. The new policy, which takes effect from February 1, is an improvement on the current one-year multiple-entry visa for this group. Foreigners of Chinese origin with residency will be able to extend the period of their stay from three to five years. The changes, announced by the Ministry of Public Security last week, are expected to attract more overseas ethnic Chinese people to do business or live in China, according to the authorities. This is indeed a win-win situation for everyone! Source:

Today I had an audit near-by. I was curious to see if this traditional styled shop-front designed unit is still around. Indeed, it has been around for at least a decade or more. I really like the authentic style frontage. Even if it is a modern take of the traditional hand-crafted design... never mind... do take a look.. Hoong Woh Tong herbal tea & jelly @ Hougang Mall
