I think China bought an old Soyuz spacecraft to the Russians but I don't remember which model.

It was a Soyuz TM.

I have no information to confirm that the Chinese bought a Soyuz.

There is a long standing story that a Zond landed off course in China

The first Soyuz test flight, Cosmos 133, was of course and would have landed in China, so was commanded to self destruct.  The Chinese may have recovred some bits but it would not have been very useful and of course was over 40 years ago.

I should elaborate; in the case of the Zond, the destruct command was sent when the descent module was below the horizon, and supposedly the capsule landed intact in China, where it was put on exhibit at the PLA museum for many years.

On a related note, I was told by a "highly placed source" in Russia that the Chinese did not pay for an APAS.

It is was a Zond the options are:

Cosmos 146 and 154, whose fate is obscure and may have reentered (but could have ended up anywhere anywhere).

Three unnamed launch failures (the most likely?)

Of the named Zonds, 4 came down in the Atlantic, 5 and 8 in the Indian Ocean, 6 and 7 in the USSR.

Looks like the ignition time is set at 10:37:29 UTC, with liftoff 3 seconds later. (source)

The CMSEO web site is actually pretty good.
Some interesting stuff at http://en.cmse.gov.cn/show.php?contentid=1204

CZ-2F Y9 will enter orbit at T+585 seconds.

I have so far on the crew:
Jing Haipeng  景海鹏
Born: 1966 Oct 24, Shanxi province
Selected 1998 Jan
Rank: Brigadier (daxiao, 大校)
Crew:  Shenzhou 7 神舟七号  fanhuicang zhishou hangtianyuan (descent module monitor astronaut)
          Shenzhou 9  指令长 zhi ling zhang   (commander)

Liu Wang 刘旺
Born: 1969 Mar      Shanxi province
Selected 1998 Jan
Rank:  Brigadier
Crew: Shenzhou 9   (position TBD)

Liu Yang   刘洋
Born 1978 Oct       Henan province
Selected 2010 May
Rank: Major  (shaoxiao, 少校)
Crew: Shenzhou 9 ( position TBD)

Does anyone have the positions of Liu Wang and Liu Yang? by which I mean, the equivalent of 神舟七号  fanhuicang zhishou hangtianyuan (descent module monitor astronaut) like Jing was on his last flight  (what we might translate as Command Module Pilot :-))

I found it-channel 884.  But it's CCTVESPANOL.  A Chinese space launch in Spanish, this could be interesting... :D

Jing Haipeng  景海鹏
Rank: Brigadier (daxiao, 大校)

Liu Wang 刘旺
Rank:  Brigadier

In both cases, I prefer the rank to be given as Senior Colonel (four stars vs. one star for Major General in China (and Russia)).

It seems none official source point to such positions.

This should refer to a launch of 1969-11-28 when Proton third stage failed near the end of its burn and the calculated impact point was 200 km north of Harbin in China. The payload was experimental craft L-1E, the same as Kosmos-382 one year later.

Andrey Krasilnikov who whatches the English broadcast caught explanation of cosmonaut roles (not formal positions). Liu Wang is essentially SZ-9 pilot and he's interchangeable with Jing Haipeng. Liu Yang is primarily TG-1/SZ-9 payload commander.
