Applying for Chinese citizenship?

My partner and I have been living in Beijing for a while now and we plan to make the move here permanent. To save the hassle of visas we have discussed applying for Chinese citizenship. How would we go about this? Would we need to join the CCP and can we still retain our British passports?
