Are the sellers of your new place that willing to have the deal fall through based on a few days? They may not be thrilled, but they're still choosing between waiting an extra few days or having the whole deal fall through and going back to the market. Even with an extra $10,000, that's a lot of hassle, assuming they'd even be able to get the same price. (Or of course maybe they think they can get a better price so are more than willing to let it fall through).
I was going to say maybe try and find a high interest short term lender, I remember having to do that once (it was actually my lender who gave us a personal loan), but that might be even more risky; if you get enough to close, but then the Chinese people actually disappear completely, then you'll have a place you still have to sell AND a loan shark.
