Do any Chinese embassies or consulates grant multiple-entry visas to people from a third country?

I did get a multiple enty visa for China (1 year) while I worked in Malaysia. I have an Irish passport. The condition was that I had to prove that I was a resident while I applied. Without that proof I wouldn’t get a multiple entry visa. Incidently, I have visited many Chinese embassies around Asia and have found this one in KL to be the friendliest for what it’s worth. Bangkok recently seemed to be chaotic. I think they had new staff lacking in experience.
So, do we know for sure whether China only issues multiple-entry visas
to citizens of the country where the embassy is, or people with
residence status there.
Yes, this is true not only for China but for most other countries as well, with very few, very specific exceptions.
In fact, I only know of (personal experience) exceptions granted, but it was for a single entry/exit visa which was granted due to exigent circumstances (a medical emergency); and it required an appeal to the counselor.
As a visitor – you are very lucky to be granted a visit visa, for many nationalities they require you arrange this from your domicile.
