Some consular offices do not accept applications from temporary visitors in a third country. Are you a temporary visitor or a permanent resident in Kuwait? If you have a residence permit or work permit in Kuwait, it might be easier for you. Take along your passport, a filled application form, a recent photo, your work permit or invitation letter from China, and go to China Embassy in Kuwait to do the application. Good luck!
