Replacing Active Chinese 10 Year Visa from Lost US Passport

I lost my us passport with an active 10 year Chinese entry permit in it I received in 2015. I do not believe I have any photocopies or photographs of the old visa, although i do have pictures of the old us passport main page.

I am scheduled to travel to China on 3/26 and was going to apply for a new one and want to know if this will be an issue I need to mention, whether I can just apply with my new passport without as if it is my first time, and what else I can do if anything to expedite and make sure I get the documents I need before I leave.

Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated!
