Blank pages

My passport is almost full, I have one fully blank page and 2 pages with 1 Chinese entry stamp on (still plenty of space for more entry and exit stamps) would I be able to apply for another Chinese entry permit as I have 1 blank page for the actual visa and enough space for the entry and exit stamps. I have tried to apply for a new passport but the consulate has told me it would take at least 6 months to get a new passport. Please advise if this would be enough to apply for another visa. Thanks!
