No, you can only apply for an extension of 30-days stay in China at the local public security bureau. If you want to stay in China for a longer time, you may find a job in China and then apply for a China work visa.

Thanks for the answer,So, if I can not extend my visa, what kind of the document I need to prepare if I can find the job in China.Thanks

I mean you can apply for an extension of another 30-day stay instead of one year in China on your present visa. If you intend to stay in China for another one year, you are right you should find a job in China and apply for a China work visa. However, you can't get the work visa without exiting China, and you still have to leave China for some time to apply for the work visa. When you get the work visa, you can stay in China for 1-2 years as expected.
