Not sure what you are getting at, as ALL flights are valid for TWOV as long as the next flight flies outside of China within published departure that meets the rules for CTU.

Simply completing the whole picture?
You: .. unless you travel to a third country.
Me: I saw some routings through NRT.
Yes, any flight connecting outside of China is valid, but I saw some pricing at the same $6xx price? I didn't see any ICN, HKG or TPE prices at the same rate..

cash upgrade offers (usually within OLCI window -- expect $1100+ each direction, capacity controlled to some extent) or miles + money. i believe it would be 30K miles + $600 for this itinerary (each way) but i might be wrong. it's a horrible deal.
there have been some decent W fares recently to both China and Japan. if you can get one of those for around $1000 you can apply GPU and thats the most cost effective way to go in J.
