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).

Very high chance that OP is now flagged based upon information he submitted which includes photos.

Given the application asks whether you've ever been refused a Chinese visa, it's pretty certain you'll be flagged.
Your nationality counts somewhat, too.
Myself, I'd suggest waiting a few years. It's even worse to establish a record of several denials.

I think without knowing the background of the whole story (and I doubt OP will provide us with it) it's hard to guess what exactly were the circumstances.
But I'd wager the guess that OPs name has now - at the very least - been put on a list that will require more extensive checks in the future if applying for a visa.
Unfortunately he doesn't provide any further information, and appears to be a "one-post-wonder".. so all we can do is to speculate.
Since I doubt you'd provide a fake statement if you actually got the funds, one must assume that he either suddenly improved his wealth situation somewhat he could now legally pass the requirement, or that he otherwise doesn't have to provide such statement anymore (change of nationality, for an example)
But in any case, he'd probably still have to take up a talk with the Chinese embassy (probably better over hitting a random consulate) and explain the reasons why he cheated, and what changed since.
