How to get tourist visa for PRC in Taiwan

I’m a US citizen and ARC holder living in Taipei and I want to visit my brother who’s taking a business trip to Beijing.

Does anyone know if it’s possible IN TAIWAN for an American passport holder to get a TOURIST VISA to the PRC, or is it only possible to get a BUSINESS VISA?

The travel agent I’ve been speaking with keeps saying it’s “mafan” to get a tourist visa and I should get a business one.

Any recommendations of travel agents who could handle this particular issue here in Taipei??

Any advice would be much appreciated!
