Can I get a Chinese student visa from Fukuoka, Japan, to study in Hong Kong?

I will be studying at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, starting September 2011 from an American University in California. I then want to study for a semester in China after I finish my year of study in Japan. Can I get a Chinese student visa from Fukuoka, Japan, to study in Hong Kong? My letters and calls go unanswered to the Chinese consulate. Do they have English speakers there? I do not know what to do and want to plan ahead to go from Kyushu University (September 2011-August 2012) to the University of Hong Kong for the next semester (August 2012-December 2012). I have tried calling the Chinese consulate and I do not know enough Chinese to communicate well. I have written several times. Can someone help me? Thank you.
