It if you get on an earlier standby non-rev.

What would China immigration do when they see a ticket like below.
Risky!

Not risky IF your backup ticket keeps you inside the 48 hours - just show them your backup ticket, NOT your Stand-By ticket, when asking for the Transit Visa. They don't record on which flight you're going to go, so you're free to try the Stand-By, and if it doesn't work, to take the backup flight. It's actually quite a good idea for those travelling on Stand-By Tickets ^
