Obtaining Chinese visa from France, and flying to China from a different country

Hi, I am from Cyprus(EU national) living and working in France and am about to do a multicountry trip in Asia this summer. I start my trip with China and i finish in Japan. As i live in France I need to obtain my Chinese visa from France.
However I start my trip by flying to Beijing,China from Czech Republic (by Russian airlines) and I leave from Shanghai, China to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia(by AirAsia).

If I provide my entry air-ticket to China (from Czech Republic) and my leaving air-ticket to Malaysia would it be ok/enough to get obtain the visa? Do i also need to provide my air-ticket from France to Czech Republic?

Thanks for you reply
