About:10-year China Visa for US and Canadian Citizens

I recently received a "L" tourist visa, 90 days length of visit, M multiple entry for 10 years. How

How often can I return to China as a tourist and how much time must elapse between entries?
I also have relatives living in China (Chinese in-laws). Is visiting them considered part of tourism?
I had an agent register a company in China, but it is just getting started. May I also inquire into business affairs as a tourist? David

There is no number limit. However, the total stay within a 12-month period shall not exceed 180 days. It is okay to hold the visa to visit relatives but I'm not sure about business purpose and you'd better confirm with the Chinese embassy or consulate.

I don't believe there is a 180 day stay in country limit per year on a 10 year unlimited entry Chinese Visa. I did not see this 180 day limit per year on any of my online research on Chinese visas. Hopefully, for my sake, I am correct in my understanding.

Where can I find “no exceeding 180 days within a 12-month period” information? Thank you.

I have a 10 year multi entry L (tourist) visa, which allows a maximum 60-day stay each time, and I am thinking of staying in China for around 120 days next year. If this is the case, I don’t mind flying to Hong Kong and re-entering China.

You can enter China twice (as your maximum duration of stay is 60 days) to stay for 120 days. That's to say, go to HK when the first duration of stay is going to expire and then reenter to active the second entry.

You can also extend your stay within China at local entry and exit bureau but the prolonged stay is usually no longer than the original one.
