Changing Chinese visa from old UK passport to new
Upvote:0
I spoke with Chinese customs in Shanghai a few minutes ago. They told me that it is acceptable to travel on two passports if the visa in the old passport is still valid. However, the Chinese Embassy in Australia said it depends which port a person uses to gain access to the People's Republic.

According to Timatic, the database used by airlines:
Valid visas or resident permits in expired passports are accepted if holding a new valid passport of the same nationality. The personal information on both passports must be the same.
So yes, you can use a combination of a valid passport and expired passport with your residence permit and/or visa.
In any case, it is strongly recommended for you to transfer your residence permit (not the visa) to your new passport for convenience. This is done at the nearest Exit & Entry Administration office
