The Chinese consular provider informs
As of Dec. 16, 2019, every applicant must provide a fingerprint when submitting visa documents. The fingerprint is valid for 5 years with the passport presented at the time of submission. If the passport expires within the 5 years, a new fingerprint must be submitted with the new passport.
The following are exempt from this regulation:
Please note that all applicants must come to the Visa Application Service Center in person to have fingerprints taken. Falsification of fingerprints or fraud with foreign fingerprints by third parties will result in denial of entry to China. All resulting consequences will be borne by the applicant himself/herself.
You will receive further information in the coming days.

On September 2, 2019, changes will be made to the process of submitting and collecting visa documents. It is not yet final how the processes for consular service providers will be implemented. We are in close contact with all consular providers and will keep you informed of any changes. Currently, you can continue to apply for your China visa via the German Visa and Consular Society.
