Business visa is easier to apply, but if you will work in China, you'd better apply for a work visa to enter China, then change the work visa into a residence permit within 30 days after entry, the residence permit is valid for 1 year, you need to renew it annually. If you apply for a business visa, it permits you to stay in China for 180 days at most.
Where do you live in Malaysia? there is China embassy in Kuala Lumpur and China consulate in Kuching, they have different consular districts. Does your employer send you alien employment license and invitation letter of a duly authorized unit?
