Mr.Joaquin Melendez, please don't worry, as I know, the China consulate in Busan (Pusan) has not applied the new rule. I read the experience of Ms.Ayzia(Korea)who applied the China visa in Korea,

Ms.Ayzia(Korea) said:

I was in the same predicament as many of you. I booked my flight to China only to find out about the change in policy. I even sent my passport back to Canada for someone to get my a travel visa on my behalf, but it was rejected. I advise against doing this since you can't be truthful about living in Korea on the application, and they may see that you are still in Korea when they look at your passport.

In the end, Kangsan travel saved me! I dropped my passport off at their Seoul office near City Hall station and they sent it to Busan (where the ARC card rule doesn't apply yet). It took 5 days including dropping it off and picking it up. I just got it today (Aug. 2nd). Kangsan is AMAZING! Phone 020-777-2102.
