However, that begs the question.. with 25+ hours in the above screenshot. Is it valid without visa?

More info:

24-Hour TWOV

24 Hour TWOV: available in most cities except Fuzhou (FOC), Yanji (YNJ), and Shenzhen (SZX)(current exclusion as of 7 August 2016), and the only option if you have more than one stop or transit in China##

Note: passengers travelling on US and Canadian passports are not permitted to use the multiple-stop transit within China if transiting through Tianjin (TSN), Weihai (WEH), Wuhan (WUH), Xi'an (XIY) or Zhengzhou (CGO).

The 24 hour period is measured from your first scheduled arrival into China, until your last scheduled departure from China. This includes any transits or domestic flights you might undertake.

Note: special provisions apply to Urumqi (URC), where you are permitted to stay in transit for a maximum of 2 hours. You may then proceed to other transit points in China, for a maximum total stay in China of 24 hours (scheduled arrival at first port of entry, to final departure.

You should also read the section 'other important considerations' below.
