Please see following info from the "German Chamber of Commerce" - update 20.06.2008 - this is only the most important part:

Information regarding Chinese visa regulations
UPDATE June 20, 2008 (see red type)
As the German Chamber of Commerce in China, Beijing periodically receives information regarding the new visa application process, we stand ready to share any and all such information with our membership. Please contact us. We must however note, that the Chamber is not in a position to guarantee that the information provided is in agreement with the latest requirements, as these are subject to frequent updates.
F-Visa (Business Visa)
- Plane tickets for both the outbound and return flights (E-tickets with the ticket number are also
accepted, but in both cases the original ticket is more likely to be accepted than photocopies)
- Hotel reservation in China; must include complete name (as displayed in passport) of each traveler
(original reservation and a copy are usually required, in some cases though the copy is enough)
- Invitation (original and copy) for a business visa from the responsible ministry, provincial
government, or companies and institutions of the P.R. of China with the necessary authority to issue invitations.
To renew or extend an F-Visa the original invitation which was used to obtain the visa must be presented. There might also be the additional requirement that the applicant work for a company with a certain minimum registered capital. Please note that at this point it is unclear exactly what the required minimum will be.

What is written there in RED will be almost impossible for most of the (still existing) F-Visa holders - Cheers ! If you don't know why - just sit back, relax & think about it for a minute or two.
Very "creative" department somewhere there in the "Central Government".
It is sad, ridiculous + very much annoying !
