The website is one thing, in real life it is entirely different. They are cancelling all old visas for the new visa system. Got mine today and its a 0 entry 3 month visa. That is the longest visa extension available. When this expires, it'll be back to the EEA for another 3 months, every 3 months repeating the process. If I travel outside of China, the visa is void and I will need to apply for a new one from abroad at an embassy. So even if/when the travel bans are lifted, I am now unable to travel. Also, the new visa looks totally different than any of the previous visas and has my photo on the actual sticker on the passport page. Clearly, they're using this travel ban as an excuse to cancel all visas and introduce a new system of entry/exit visa control. Enjoy.
