In addition, "In March, Beijing introduced a series of entry restrictions, including the suspension of multiple-entry visas for foreigners, and requiring many to return to their home countries to apply for work visas instead of doing so in Hong Kong. Tourists are required to show advance hotel reservations and return-flight bookings upon submitting visa applications."

By the way, China has suspended a preferential policy that allows the Singaporean can enter China and stay for 15 days just with their passports for sight seeing and business purposes from July 1st. That means the Singaporean should apply their visa first before entering China from July 1st.
