do i need a return ticket when applying for a chinese visa?

Question

I am a Belgian citizen. I was in China for one year. In China I bought a return ticket to Brussels and back to Beijing. When applying for a Chinese visa, will I need a return ticket?

If this time you are planning to tour in China, you should provide the return flight ticket and booking document for the hotel in China. And if planning to visit family members, just provide the kinship documents. Or if you visit friends in China, should provide the invitation letter, assurance and identification of the friends or permanent resident (copy).
