I assume these 20 extra minutes might be an issue (however its said they stamp the passport just 72hrs/3 days without exact counting?)

Secondly,my return to Europe also routes me via PEK (coming from SIN).

All flights are on Air China,and i need to know if a visa free stay (72hrs) is possible,or if i shouldnt take the risk and apply for a regular visa?
