About:Chinese Embassy in U.S.A.

Hello Chinese Embassy, Japan.
i am american citizen, meeting all the qualifications for a 1 year, multiple entry chinese visa. I held multiple Chinese visa's over the past 5 years; I will be traveling through Asia and would like to obtain my chinese visa in Japan, upon arriving. My tokyo duration will be long enough for the normal application process in Tokyo. I will buy the airline tickets for the Asia destinations prior to USA trip departure.

Is there a problem to obtain the china visa in Tokyo, once the travel begins. I am applying in Japan to allow the travel to commence.

it is easy to get a Chinese visa in Tokyo, you can see the reviews of Mr.GROUT7(United States):
I am an American staying in Japan on a short-term tourist visa. I got a tourist visa for China at the Embassy in Tokyo, applying Dec. 21, 2009 and returning to pick up the visa Dec. 22, 2009. (I paid 3000 yen extra for rush service.) Perhaps my experience will help others who have questions.
I took along a copy of my passport (picture page and page with Japanese Landing Permission and Embarkation Card folded out) and a photo from a photo booth (my photo was 35mm x 45mm). I also made a copy of my passport to keep, since they keep your passport while processing the visa application. You can make photos and photocopies at the embassy, but you'll have to pay and wait in line.
I got the visa before I booked a flight or hotel. Nobody at the embassy asked me anything about that. The application asks what's the earliest you plan to go, how long you will stay, and what cities you will visit, but not about flights or hotels.
I paid nothing to submit the application and a total of 18000 yen (cash only) when I picked up my passport with the visa in it. The visa consumes a full page in the passport, but they say two blank visa pages are required.
I guess I was at the embassy a bit more than an hour. There's a bathroom available.
If you arrive at Roppongi metro station, the shortest route is through the West Walk of Roppongi Hills and past the Hyatt.
