China → Dominican Republic
With a bare ordinary Chinese passport, a visa is required before travel to the Dominican Republic.
Tourist entry normally requires a passport valid for at least 6 months, entry and return/onward ticket, an address in the Dominican Republic, and proof of sufficient funds; business travel outside a visa-exempt entry should be confirmed with the Dominican Ministry of Foreign Affairs/consulate. Commercial-flight passengers must also complete the free E-Ticket entry/exit form.

Common questions
Yes. The official Dominican tourism entry page says any nationality may visit if they are a legal resident of, or have a valid visa in the passport from, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Schengen; the China passport source also says Chinese passports require a visa unless holding such a document, with a maximum stay of 30 days.
No. An ordinary Chinese passport is listed as visa-required for the Dominican Republic; the substitute-visa rule applies only when the traveler holds a valid U.S./UK/Canada/Schengen-type visa or residence document covered by the sources.
No reliable source found that a Japanese visa alone waives the Dominican Republic visa. The official tourism page lists valid visas from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Schengen; the visa-policy source lists Schengen member states, Canada, Cyprus, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, but not Japan.
Usually no. The visa-policy source lists Singapore as visa-free, with a 90-day stay notation.
