The 10-year visa available in Hong Kong is not the same as the 'Chinese greencard' you're talking about, I think. Will check out what this one here available is - probably the 10-year tourist visa.
Anyway, a poster here named 'walter' got a 10 year visa at the PRC Embassy in Vientiane, Laos, overnight recently.

@Magnifico: I'd have to disagree with that, in the name of equal access to educational opportunity - but I'm not suggesting the creator of materials shouldn't get paid, just that asking the poor to do the paying doesn't make much sense to me - why should their kids be deprived?

Was a bald, general statement I believe, and I confess I don't know the context. Proudhon was a determined socialist whom Karl Marx strongly disagreed with and whose positions (e.g., Proudhon's idea of abolishing money) he wrote against in his (Marx's) work, The Poverty of Philosophy.
I just dumped it here as an interesting thought. The example of North America is my own, but one might think of Monsanto and consider the idea of patenting food grains. Or copyrighting teaching materials needed in poor areas.

In Hong Kong, 10-year visa, at least for Americans, can be had from China Travel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, in 24 hours for US$500 - was told this there this morning. Cheaper if you wait a few days, but I didn't get the price. There was a guy there applying for one.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
