Dear Louis,
First you could check if you are eligible for China's visa-free policies (see: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/intro2.htm). If yes, you don't need the visa.
If not, you should prepare needed documents including passport and visa application form attached with a recently-taken photo (see: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/requirement.htm), and then make an appointment with Chinese embassy, consulate or Chinese Visa Application Center (CVASC) to submit the application. Usually, you will pick up your visa after 4 working days you submit your application.

Wish you get your visa smoothly fast!
