Has anyone applied for a visa to China recently?
The last time I went in 2011, the cost was around $50 for a single entry 30 day visa. Now I check the visa office's website and find this pricing guide:

It's now $142!
BUT it looks like that's the cost of ALL visas regardless of entries and validity. It also looks like there's a multi-entry visa now that will last the life of your passport.
Can anyone clarify?
