Mr.Marco,
1) the return flight ticket is required for tourist visa application
2) you can send the invitation letter for her when you are in China, you'd better send the copy of your paspsort data pages and the Chinese visa on your paspsort to her together
3) you can book a hotel for her in her name for the first few nights
In fact, the requirements of return flight ticket and hotel booking are listed by Chinese embassy in Russia, however, the visa regulations vary from person to person, the saft way is to provide all required documnets, then it is likely to get a Chinese visa.

Mr.Marco, it she declares to stay in China for about 120 days, and the return fligh ticket can prove her planned stay duration, maybe the visa officer will issue her a visa with 120 days stay duration, I know that someone has gotten such a visa, howerver, the chance is slim. Maybe she just get a single entry permitting 30 days stay duration. I can't find the example of the invitation letter, but I know that you should send the original letter and copy of your passport and visa copy to her address. I guess that if your company can provide you an letter to prove your position, and work in the company, which is also helpful for your girlfriend to apply for Chinese visa.

Mr. marco, in fact, I don't agree with the visa rules, if I book the flight tickets, however, my visa application is refused, how can I do? I don't know why such a rule exisit? Applicants should provide the two-way flight tickets when submit the application.
