Yes and no. (You don't really "apply" and AFAIK it's an entrance stamp more than a temporary permit.) You mean 24 hour transit without visa (TWOV) and it does permit you to leave the airport.
Check details in the China destination forum, where you will find an extensive discussion and up-to-date information on the rules.
