Did anyone file a document in China (especially Guangzhou)? Did I hear that it's more complicated to get than from a South East Asian country?

Answer summary

The process of filing documents in China, particularly in Guangzhou, is indeed more complicated compared to Southeast Asian countries. A significant complication arises because many consulates in China only accept applications from official residents.
