I don't see SZX listed, but on the other hand, they seem to say 24-hour transit is ok without limitations.

So a low-cost airline based in Malaysia, boarding a US citizen at KUL for travel to China is supposed to disregard Timatic and somehow, miraculously find a poorly written page on the website for the Chinese Embassy for Australia from 2013 when 24 hr TWOV wasn't even allowed at SZX, that doesn't even specifically address the issue? How far are we going to reach to try to fault the airline, here?

Can anyone post an official source that says that 24hr TWOV is now allowed at SZX? One that Air Asia at KUL could have relied on and was obvious enough that they could easily have found it? Did the OP supply them with an official source to check other than this blog that said there were 'plans' to roll it out sometime in 2016?
