I also don't think this is a good idea. IMO the wikipost isn't the proper place to discuss this sort of permutation/attempted perversion of the Chinese regulations, the main body of this thread is. Even though the situation that @Guy Betsy presented has come up multiple times in this thread, I still think it's better addressed as we're doing now, case by case. I believe all the responses (at least recent ones) to those wanting to try this gambit has been
"Don't Do It."

Assume that Chinese Immigration computers are sophisticated enough to catch the subterfuge. Anybody who still wants to try faking the onward then flying back making it a nonconforming TWOV, should prepare to spend an extra RMB 5000 for a fine, and a few extra hours in the back room of Immigration, as possible consequences.
