Try again. I've had many a Chinese visa. While the applications always have a relative over there listed never have they had to vouch for us--and the only reason we even have that listed is visiting her relatives has always been one of the reasons for our trips. Most people simply leave that part of the form blank as they aren't going to visit someone over there. She actually is subject to a slightly greater amount of scrutiny as she's a former Chinese citizen and they want to ensure she's not trying to be a dual citizen. (They do not recognize dual citizenship other than of minors. At 18 a dual citizen must pick one or the other.) So long as you don't put down "reporter" or the like as your profession and you don't work for a major media company the visa application is not an issue.
