How long can US citizens stay in China?

They can use 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit with a confirmed onward ticket to a third country or region, entering through one of 65 designated ports and staying inside the permitted areas.

You become tax resident in China after 183 days in a calendar year. You are a Chinese tax resident if you are domiciled in China, or if you spend 183 days or more there in a calendar year. For people without a domicile, only full 24-hour days in China count, so arrival and departure days are excluded. Non-domiciled residents are taxed on foreign income paid from abroad only after six consecutive 183-day years counted from 2019; one trip abroad of more than 30 days in any of those years restarts the count.
