american with permanent visa in japan seeks chinese multiple-entry visa

Question

Hi...I'm an American living in Japan.  I want to visit more parts of China this year and next as a tourist, but I have no set schedule or itinerary yet.  I just came back from Shanghai and the tourist L I used was 29,000 yen (travel agent fees included) for a single-entry.  Can I get a multiple-entry one for a one-year period even if I don't have specific dates or locations decided yet?

If this is your first time to apply for a visa to China, you are not able to get a multiple entry. As I know, you have to show proof that you were granted at least two China visas in past year if you want a multi one.
