Chinese legal requirements for living in China

I lived in the Philippines from 1995 until 2004. I was required to extend my visa after 355 days. What is the Chinese requirement?

Thank you for any information on this topic.

I do not think there is any Chinese requirement on visa extensions in the Philippines. You might want to discuss this matter with the immigration officials in China.

Do you mean your visa is Philipines, but right now you live in China?
