Can US citizens on vistit visa to Sausi Arabia apply for chineese business visa?.

I am an American citizen, currently in Saudi Arabia on a visit visa. I would like to apply for business visa to China. I read the application form and it asked for employer information and as I am already a visitor here, how will this process work?. Can someone please tell me how should I go about it?. I am planning to start my own business here in saudi arabia and my main purpose is to visit businesses there and find the products that I can bring here and only then apply for business license. Can someone please provide their insight?. Thanks.
