Can I get Permanent Residency to Join my Chinese Wife in China

I am an American citizen, 70 years old and retired. I have two pensions and am financially secure. My wife is a Chinese citizen with permanent residency in the USA. We have been married for 10 years. We travel to PRC twice every year to visit her relatives. My wife has her own apartment in a major PRC city and we would like to relocate to PRC to live permanently. If I am accompanying my wife, do I qualify to apply for permanent residency? If not, under what conditions can I live permanently with my wife in PRC?
