maximum length of stay for any kind of chinese visa

Question

What is the maximum uninterrupted length of stay I can get as an Australian citizen going to China? Which visa type offers the longest stay? I would like to stay in China for at least one year and will probably be studying Chinese for most of that time and traveling for some of the time. Can I get a student visa (X) for one year? Or would it be better to try and get a work visa (Z) or business visa (F)? Or will I just have to get a multiple entry visa and leave and return every 60 days?

Yes, you can apply for a China X student visa for your travel purpose - learn Chinese during the week and visit the attractions at weekend. However, you have to apply for an admission letter from a capable Chinese school who can provide you Foreign Student Visa Application Form (JW201 or JW202) for yoru visa application.
