Yes, resident permits allow you to re-enter the country an unlimited number of times during their validity

Arrived in Beijing in December 2012 with F Visa. Turned it in permit of residence in february 2013 for one year till february 2014.

Now. Question is: I want to go back in Italy at the end of July / Begin of August, do I have unlimted entries in China? Since on my permit of residence there is written no number of limited entries.

Yes, the residence permit has no limit on the number of entries and exits during the validity of the residence permit.

So I've been told that if your residence permit is still valid, you can still re-enter the country without having to re-apply for another X-visa or entry visa. Could anyone clarify this for me? Thanks.

Merged with answer. Will edit title as well.
