passport expires 10/10/2017. travel to china 04/01-04/08/2017.

Question

Hello. US Passport expires: 10/10/2017  Plan travel to China 04/01/2017-04/08/2017.  I am back to US 04/09/2017.  I am going to apply for a Chinese Visa.  Question:  Should I renew my passport first BEFORE I apply for it?  Will Consular grant me a Chinese Visa while my passport has less than 10 mos validity? thank you.

The requirement for the 10-year visa is to have a passport with a remaining validity of more than one year. Renewing your passport is a better bargain since single and double-entry one cost the same ($160) and your passport is due to expire anyway.
