There are only two possibilities I see for categories that I could fall into:
10. As other invitees who really do not have enough time to apply for visas to Chinese agencies abroad but hold letters or telegrams from the designated competent authorities approving the application for visas at port visa agencies;

11. Tour groups organized and received by International Travel Agencies in China or the approved Hong Kong/Macao travel agencies.
Does anyone know of who these designated competent authorities might be?
I would assume a safe bet would be a Government Official with regards to a competent authority. As stated, above, you should get a visa before entering China or transit through to another Country but only staying 72 hours. There is no way around it.
