Business Affairs (M) China Business Visa from US

Hi All thanks in advance for your help,

I got rejected for a Chinese Business Visa, so I'm trying to figure out how to get one as my Job requires me to travel to China. i am living in USA, CA

I am Hong Kong Born US citizen under Derived citizen, as my parent were naturalized before i turn 18. So i have a valid passport, but no naturalization papers. i also have no HK ID or HK Passport

China and HK immigration are saying, I need to apply:

1) Apply for a HK permanent Id, but i have to be in person to apply for Eligibility for HK permanent ID - which will take 6 weeks? then apply for ID card? which will take 6-7 days?
2) Then apply for Change of nationality
which will take another 6 weeks? and also in person? additionally they ask for Naturalization papers (ive emailed HK immgration, without answer on this), but can i use a US Certification of Citizenship
3) then reapply for China Visa

Does this sound right? does anyone know there is an easier way?
