The table from the PRC website didn't download too well, but I think you'll get the idea of the two-tiered system. Last time I paid for a visa, there were different charges depending on where you came from, ie, what your country charged Chinese citizens, so they'd charge you. Now its simple- if you're a Yank, you pay 60-70% more. Fair? Probably not. Amusing? Probably.
VISA FEE
Number of Entry Validity Duration of stay American Citizens of
other countries
Single 3 months 30 days $50 $30

(each entry) $75 $40
Multiple* 6 months 30 days
(each entry) $100 $60
Multiple* 12 months 30 days

For multiple-entry visas, a letter from the Chinese government organization with the authority to request the Embassy or Consulate General to issue the visa is required.

What's the big deal? I wouldn't take a personal check from you either unless I ripped it from your checkbook myself.
