Guangzhou (CAN) over-midnight transfer - visa needed?

Does anybody have any recent experience with the intl(?)-intl transfer at CAN with the connecting flight after midnight?

Booked the flight with CZ: AMS - PEK (tech.stop) - CAN - AKL.

Time period between arriving at PEK and leaving CAN should be around 8 hours.
Layover at CAN is from 19:30 to 00:30 after midnight.

TIMATIC says (for my nationality, Czech Rep.) :

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Visa required, except for Holders of confirmed onward tickets

transiting TIRULES/R32 through Guangzhou Airport (CAN) on
the same calendar day. At all other airports:
Visa required, except for Holders of confirmed onward tickets

for a max. transit TIRULES/R32 time of 24 hours
Contacted China Southern in AMS and the embassy through emails, no replies.

Do I really need visa?
Thank you in advance for any help.
