Can an USA citizen get Chinese Visa in Singapore as not be in USA for 5 months before China entry

Traveling extensively for a year. Planned to get China Visa in Hong Kong in April 2020 for tour in China. With the current demonstrations in Hong Kong I am afraid that getting a Visa there may not be possible. The tour has a significant cost which will not be refundable if I cannot get a Visa. I am not willing to take this chance so I need to find another Country where I can get the Visa as leaving the USA in November 2019 so I can't get it there. Thanks
