Yan Zhen/ Shanghai Daily news
Educational authorities have moved to prevent a scam that sees local college
hopefuls masquerading as overseas Chinese students in the hope of an easier
entrance, Shanghai Daily reported.
From this year, only people who hold a foreign permanent residence permit and
live abroad for at least two years between April 17, 2003, and April 17, 2007,
are eligible to sign up as overseas students for the city's college entrance
examinations.
