Can I (previous nationality is Chinese) apply for Chinese Visa to go to China as a tourist?

First time applicants whose former nationality was Chinese, shall write down his Chinese name in the application form and submit his original Chinese passport or the photocopy of the information page of the passport. Applicant who was formerly Chinese and has acquired a new US passport, if there is a Chinese visa in the old passport, shall submit his old US passport or the photocopy of the Chinese visa.


Are you the first time applicant for China visa after you obtain the US passport? The original Chinese passport has been lost, do you have the photocopy of Chinese passport or other document to prove your previous Chinese nationality?
