There will be shorter, less complicated forms and applicants will have to soar thru fewer security hoops. Foreigners will have higher possibilities to join their households and greater probabilities to secure work visas.

The move is the latest measure aimed at tackling China’s aging population after Beijing  relaxed its birth policy  to let couples have up to two children in 2015.

Osaka returned to Roland Garros after sitting out the tournament last year and turned in a mistake-filled 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over 63rd-ranked Patricia Maria Tig at Court Philippe Chatrier on Day 1. She had declared Wednesday on social media she would not speak to the press and kept that promise. Hours later, Osaka turned to her preferred method of communication these days, tweeting: "anger is a lack of understanding. change makes people uncomfortable." Other results perhaps were more newsworthy than a straight-set win by the No. 2-ranked Osaka — U.S. Open champion and two-time French Open runner-up Dominic Thiem's 4-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 loss to 68th-ranked
