No Seychelles visa is required. Seychelles' official immigration page states that, except for Kosovo passport holders, there are no visa requirements for other passport holders; a Visitor's Permit is issued on arrival. The U.S. visa does not change the outcome because the Chinese passport is already treated as visa-free for Seychelles.
No Seychelles rule was found that requires relying on those third-country documents for this case; the practical outcome is that a Chinese passport itself does not require a Seychelles visa for short tourism/business. Those third-country visas or residence cards are not needed to change the result.
Seychelles is not an APEC Business Travel Card participating economy; however, that does not change the entry result because Seychelles itself has no visa requirement for passport holders other than Kosovo. A Hong Kong passport holder is still treated as visa-free with an ETA required for a short business visit.
No visa is required, but a Seychelles ETA is required before departure. A Visitor's Permit may be issued on arrival for holiday, business, or visiting friends/family, initially for up to 3 months.
