Not really. China does have a residency requirement for property purchases, but foreigners who have lived in China for more than one year ARE permitted to buy any residential property they choose.
Foreigners can also get permanent residence in China, though the number of foreigners who actually do so is very small as the process, as with many issues involving the government here, is quite convoluted.
