To promote the development of Shenyang’s population, the city government announced 10 measures that will come into effect in mid-June.

Shenyang, the capital of Northeast China’s Liaoning Province, will cancel the quota limit for the points-based household registration system, providing an open channel for those from regions outside the city to settle in Shenyang, the announcement said.

Those who rent properties or who obtain a Liaoning Province residence permit in Shenyang can apply for household registration.

Individuals working in Shenyang with employment agreements or related documents, as well as college students studying in Shenyang can also apply for household registration.

The policy also expands the scope of educational qualifications and family members eligible for household registration.
