A few years ago, the Chinese Embassies and Consulates in the United States stopped accepting visa applications by mail. You must now appear in person or use a visa service. So you may have guessed by now that there is Chinese Consulate in Houston, Texas and we sent our applications and passports to a visa service there earlier this week... Oh my... I'll keep you posted. Our fingers are crossed.
UPDATE: Made contact with the visa service. They went back to work on Monday the 22nd and they have our passports and forms. Woohoo!

Visa woes
We were outraged to find at the Chinese Embassy in Yangon that a visa
now costs $130. It was $100 only a couple of weeks ago. We are
beginning to consider skipping China for our trans-Eurasia trip next
year.
