Dear Sir/madame,

i am applying for a tourist visa and i have been to China many times because of legal employments. last december i went home after almost 6 months of working as a designer. i did not finish my one year working visa so my company also canceled this working visa for legal purposes. now, i am planning to go to China as a tourist this February. I got surprise because they asked for my bank certificate and since my bank is a rural bank, they also asked for a bank book. is it really very different now and very strict than last year? thank you very much.
