It means, there is no separate provisions on conditions for registration of permanent residence in centrally run cities, the provision on registration of permanent residence in centrally run cities and provinces is the same without distinction and is applied generally and uniformly across the country. At the same time, the new Law also adds a number of cases of permanent registration deletion:
