Permanent Residency

My mother and I live in China, we are South African. We plan to make this a long-term stay rather than renewing each year. Is there a route we can follow to become more permanent in China? We have already been here for 3 years

AFAIK Shanghai and Guangdong province may issue family-based residence permits valid for up to five years at their discretion but it requires you to have an immediate family member and/or previously held Chinese nationality. There is also no work priviliege associated with a family-based residence permit, so if you want to work in China then you have to keep renewing your work-based residence permit annually.
