Stick to the paper submission or the terminal at the airport of your arrival.

Request from the air crew. Have a pen handy so you can fill up the form during the flight.

I have never had the need to fill that in as a tourist. I fill in my destination address or hotel.

Tick No, hotel name is enough.
Currently only a few airports have the printing m/c, small airports manually fill up the card.

If have provide, otherwise providing your accomodation info in China will suffice.
Past experience they will just ask and verify, never got requested to show too, unlike Thailand etc. where there's times where officer will request to see.

Nope. Don't bother with online submissions, go right to arrival, fill in paperform and clear immigration quickly.

Saw the printer ran out of paper for the e-terminals. hand written is the way to go .

The requirement for entry forms has not gone away. Request during the flight and fill it before you touchdown if you can.

My parents are flying to China tmr. Some of their friends shared this link to fill in their info https://www.singlewindow.sh.cn/hj/ . Or do you guys fill up the physical card at the airport?
based on my understanding, the online arrival card is only supported for certain airport only.

those not supported still have to fill in the physical arrival card upon arrival, happen in my case when i visited Chengdu via Tianfu Airport.
