Oh yeah. I asked that question a while ago, too.
So, given that he was planning on staying 180 days, it should have been his responsibility to look up visa requirements and know that he should have kept his Argentinian passport current.

Yeah, but it's not really the airline's responsibility to be a passport/visa checker. That's the passenger's responsibility. I know they check transit visas through PVG, but the agent told me they did it because they would be fined otherwise because China doesn't like getting passengers with improper documents.
