I don't want to say it like I am on the side of the local government, because I am not. Many of you are thinking in terms of your own countries ways. China is a non immigrant country due to political and population reasons. As much as I'd like to see the Spousal Visa get better rewards, or the green card easier to be had, the fact is they simply do not want foreigners increasing the population, taking the jobs of the newly graduated, and especially taking one of the fewer women that local boys are fighting for when it is 100 girls per every 125 boys, or more. The only way I see this law changing, and it has been like this for a decade or more from what I know, is either China decided that foreign spouses can help with the tax issue for their pending retirement fund woes, due to the 1 child per family policy (possibly), or if China somehow has a change of heart and wants the world to see they are modern (not so likely).
