Hello, I'm planning on applying for a visa for China soon, and I was born in China, and became a US citizen and got my passport few years ago. I looked over the requirement on the Chinese consulate site which states (for tourism): "An applicant who was born in China is required to submit his /her Chinese passport or last foreign passport with a Chinese visa when he/she applies for a Chinese visa with a new foreign passport."

I am no longer in possession of my chinese passport, I tried calling but only got automated machines and couldn't reach a person. Will there be a problem with application without my Chinese Passport? I plan on driving to the consulate but it's very far and don't want to make more than one trip.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
