Mr.Sheridan, now, you can't get a multiple-entry visa to China because you have not made marriage registration with the Chinese woman, you can apply for a single-entry L visa to go to China first, after you made the marriage license, you can go to the local Exit & Enter department under Public Security Bureau where your wife lives to apply for a one year residence permit, the residence permit allows mutiple entry, and more than 6 months stay duration.
