Your printout can at least convince them not to reject the TWOV idea without attempting to check further. Even supervisors don't necessarily know how to use TIMATIC correctly.
In this case, China must be entered as the transit point, not destination, and they need to ignore the generic definition of TWOV which says that passengers cannot leave the airport.
