The answer to your question is 'who knows?'. The best advice would be to make sure you have a fully refundable air ticket to accompany your next visa application. Once approved you could cancel the fully refundable ticket and buy one which is cheaper with more restrictions.
It may be that you have now been 'flagged' for more scrutiny when you next apply. It might be an automatic rejection, or they may reassess your application afresh.
It may also be that the real reason for rejecting your visa was not the bank statement but something else (even if they told you it was due to the bank statement alone).
You won't know unless you try. But make sure you minimise any non-refundable costs (hotel and tickets).
The Chinese government has access to information to verify airline and hotel bookings so it would not surprise me that they were not able to verify the bank statement within a very short time,
Very high chance that OP is now flagged based upon information he submitted which includes photos.
