Almost correct. Transit without visa is allowed in connection with domestic flights (for example HKG-CAN-CTU-LHR), *but* then in that case the allowance is only for 24 hours total transit time inside China. Also for whatever reason, there are also some restrictions on the cities where this can be used for US/Canadian passport holders (for Tianjin (TSN), Weihai (WEH), Wuhan (WUH), Xi'an (XIY) or Zhengzhou (CGO)).
