Legal basis:

Article 7 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Exit and Entry Administration.

With the approval of the State Council, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may, according to the needs of entry-exit management, make provisions on the preservation of biometric information such as fingerprints of entry-exit personnel. If foreign governments have special regulations on visa issuance and entry and exit management for China citizens, the China government can take corresponding reciprocal measures according to the situation.
