It took me 5 years to find out this information as when you ask a question they never tell you everything that maybe relevent or useful to the thing that you...

Do you mean 45 months in 5 years?

Yes, you need to stay in China for at least 9 months (per year) in consecutive five years. But it doesn mean that you will get it even if you meet all the requirements. Do you know how many foreigners gain their permanent resident permits every year? around 200.

Yes, that is what they mean. You will be getting a "residency visa" which means you need to be living "in country" 3/4 of the year, hence residency. It is a little known visa. It's better to forget that, as it doesn't entitle you to anything other than living in China. It's better to get the Z visa, as I would assume you would need to be working. Unless of course you have plenty of money to live in China for 9 months, then no problem.

GUEST15122 As a 59 year old UK man who does not like the way UK ladies are so materialistic the thought that you can marry a Chinese lady that will marry for love very refreshing.

All of the above suggestions changed about 2 years ago with the new visa regulations. It is now possible for you (because you have chinese relatives, having married a Chinese woman) to obtain a 5 or 10 year visa. This does not in itself allow you to work, only to stay in the country. In practice they have given out almost none of the 10 year variety and restricted it to 5 years. If you want to work you have to obtain a work visa (I think it's a Z, but check that)

To get married with your Chinese woman, you should provide single certificate and valid Chinese visa. And you have to make your single certificate authorized by your Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then get it authenticated by Chinese embassy. When you come to your woman's city, you should have your certficate translated by qualified translation company and then notarized by local notary office. Then you can bring your passport, visa, translated and notarized single certificate to get married at local civil office. Your wife needs to bring her Chinese ID card and household registration book.

To live China for long time, you can apply for a Q1 type. It requires your marriage certificate, your wife's invitation letter and her Chinese ID card copy. The entry and exit management bureaus in some cities allow foreigners to change their visas into Q1 type without leaving. So if you are lucky, you can get Q1 without leaving. After getting Q1, you need to change it into long-term resident permit. Usually, it's valid for 1 to 3 years. However, you can't work with Q1 type.
