Most you can get now is L visa 6 months, multiple, with 30 day stay limit. This should apply to biz visas with invitation from Chinese company. Might be worth to contact CTS in HK to check if they are more flexible now.

Not correct
I got an F (business) 1 year multi-entry 30 day maximum stay visa April 2009 - from the Manchester consulate
The willingness of the embassy (or in my case consulate) to grant it will depend, to some extent, on your record of previous visas
Z is for non Chinese nationals who have a job in China, not just for business trips (where the F visa is appropriate)
