Official Specifications that Reload Internet follows from the Chinese Embassy here is the official PDF version issued by the Chinese Embassy for Chinese Passport Photos (official link) and Chinese Visa Photos
You cannot wear a hat or obscure your face in any manner for the visa photo to be accepted. Keep in mind that there is no recognition of dual nationality. This means that if a Chinese national has settled in another country and has acquired the nationality of another nation, they will automatically lose their Chinese nationality. So, a non-Chinese national is not eligible when applying for a Chinese passport or similar travel documents.
China is an ancient country filled with many attractions, both historic and natural, which draw millions of tourists and visitors every year. China’s passport and visa requirements have changed in recent years due to the growing concern over security. Today, China does comply with new biometric standards, yet they also have strict requirements over the photos used, which means that there have been plenty of rejections.

Embassy Pass Guarantee
We guarantee that your Chinese passport photo will be correctly sized to the required specifications. Your Chinese passport photo will not be rejected because it does not fit the specifications. If they are not accepted because of an error on our part, you will get the total purchase price returned to you, but we will require some evidence from the Embassy that they have declined your application due to our Chinese passport photo. They usually stamp photos incorrectly with their official stamp.
Do not take chances to submit photos for your passport or visa on your own. If they are not correct, your application will be rejected which will cause additional expenses and delays.
