It shows one's name, date of birth, address, nationality, photo and ID number. China's top legislature   added something new to the Resident Identity Card Law. It passed the suggestions of recording Chinese citizens' fingerprints when they apply for or change ID cards. Fingerprints would make it easier to recognize the people who own the cards. It can stop people from making fake ID cards. Li Xiao'ou, a bank worker in Beijing, said fingerprint data will make bank business safer. "No two people have the same fingerprints," he said. "The new card can better protect their private information. It will prevent their identity from being used by others when people want to do banking."
