I have read that a Chinese single-entry tourist visa is valid for about 3 months after issued and that one should send copies of flight reservations when applying. I guess one could cancel those tickets after getting the tourist visa and change to other dates within the 3 months range.

Can you get a Chinese tourist visa without flight tickets and just say "I want to go next week"? Shouldn't a bank statement be enough?

    The length of validity of the visa is country-specific. For instance US citizens can get multiple entry visas valid up to 10 years.

Chinese visa validity is different for every country, currently for the US you can get up to a 10 year visa depending on circumstances.

As for tickets, yes if you are applying for a tourist visa your first trip must be scheduled as the application form will require you to fill in the travel dates.

If you are applying for a business visa the rules are slightly different and there are ways to get business visa without a specific first travel date.
