At 9 a.m. every morning, many foreigners swarm the Ruili Service and Administration Center for Foreigners in Ruili City in southwest China's Yunnan Province. Due to its unique geographical location on the border of China and Myanmar and the deepening of China's reform and opening up, Ruili has attracted an increasing number of foreigners, especially from Myanmar, to work and live in the city.

As the Belt and Road Initiative develops, Ruili, which connects China and Southeast and South Asia, will go through further industrial upgrading and transformation, which is expected to attract more foreigners to the city to do business, work and live.

The center was established in June 2013 and became the first of its kind in China. It was set up to break down the barriers between different departments and be a one-stop service center to enable foreigners to handle relevant procedures in a fast and convenient manner. There are counters for document translation, information gathering, health certificates, work registration and temporary resident registration.

Shao Yongbao, director of the center, said procedures which previously needed to be handled by multiple departments and organizations, such as the public security bureau, customs, the human resources and social security bureau, translation companies and professional training centers, can all be done within the center, which is a great convenience for foreigners. To date, the center has provided services to over 100,000 foreigners. (Text and photos by Wei Yao)
