1 hour? 30 minutes? That's fairly normal times.
At US-American <removed by moderator> immigration, <removed by moderator>, it's fairly normal to be held up for 3+ hours.
Even when using the most extreme TWOV immigration at PEK in the morning, it wasn't as bad as average US <removed by moderator> immigration.
