Legal basis:

Passport Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 9 China citizens and foreigners who go abroad or live abroad for personal reasons must apply for Chinese visas for exit, entry or transit, and the specific measures shall be implemented in accordance with relevant regulations. China citizens who go abroad on business do not need to apply for an entry-exit visa for China when they enter or leave the country with valid passports.

Citizens of countries that have signed visa exemption agreements with China shall be handled according to the agreements.

Article 10 visas are divided into diplomatic visas, official visas and ordinary visas. In principle, the issuing authority issues corresponding visas according to the types of passports. But if necessary, a visa different from a passport can be issued.
