I’m in India and have trouble getting Chinese visa

Leslie, you are kindly advised to visit a visa section of this quite complex website where the well informed people about the Chinese visa policy are offering the support to the people asking for guidance regarding the visa issuing, like your question. This section where you have posted your query is exclusively dedicated to Chinese visas on arrival and they can be obtained only in Shenzhen and Zhuhai when you arrive through Hong Kong and Macau and Hainan visa on arrival that is very specific, but you should also fly from Hong Kong to Hainan island to be certain that you will be allowed to board the plane. The problem of all these visas is that they are strictly territory limited to the mentioned cities/provinces. As I have already mentioned, you should re post your question on visa section and I know that there you will encounter people who are very well familiar with obtaining a Chinese visa outside a home country. As far as my knowledge is about this particular issue, you can arrive in Hong Kong and definitely apply for a Chinese visa through Hong Kong CVASC. In Hong Kong you will definitely obtain a Chinese visa. Indeed, I have also heard that it is quite hard to obtain a Chinese visa in India. Of course, you will get much better instructions in the other place of this website.
