Foreign visitors may be fingerprinted under draft legislative proposals being considered by the top legislature on Monday.
The draft law on entry and exit procedures, for the first time, allows the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to put in place a system to gather biological identification data, such as fingerprints, on foreign visitors.
The draft also stipulates that foreigners should be fingerprinted by public security departments when they apply for a residential certificate.

Логика у них стандартно-невменяемая: к нам всё больше приезжает иностранцев, поэтому надо больше контроля, т.е. процедуру въезда усложнить. Хотя пишут-то наоборот:
Yang Huanning, vice-minister of public security, told lawmakers at their bimonthly session that fingerprints and other biotechnology information are "effective measures" in identification and can speed up arrival and departure procedures at customs.
Вот, собственно, само анальное огораживание:
"Such a regulation would be a warning to foreign employers that their freedom to leave the country would be restricted if they did not pay workers on time," Ye said.
The proposal also said foreigners undertaking a job without a work permit, or overseas students working longer than the allocated time, are defined as "illegal employees".
In addition, the proposal said foreigners being suspected of illegal entry, stay and/or employment, or those suspected of threatening national security or social order, can be detained for up to 60 days for investigation, if the case is "complicated".
Сроки вступления в силу сего творения пока не известны.
