Yes - I think the wiki might need updating.
However there are two separate issues. The multiple transit provision has now been loosened, with only two cities on the list instead of the previous 4. However Tianjin and Xi'an were always on the 72-hour list, just couldn't be used by US/Canadian citizens on multi-stops (can't combine 72- and 24- hour anyway).
Zhengzhou is
not on the list for 72-hour TWOV even though it has now come off the 24-hour multi restriction.
Separately there's also an addition to the
prohibited list for TWOV - Mudanjiang (MDG)
The relevant updates are:
- Transit without visa (TWOV) is not possible at Fuzhou (FOC), Mudanjiang (MDG), Shenzhen (SZX) and Yanji (YNJ).
- Nationals of USA are not permitted to use the multiple-stop transit within China, if transiting through Weihai (WEH) or Wuhan (WUH).
