I can speak from experience in October 2018 which is fairly recent.
I flew with the same airline OP has booked via the same airport. Unless you have any evidence for your claims I have to rate your comment as useless and actually bad advise for OP.
From everything I've read and watched on youtube with people going through Xiamen for a layover, a transit visa is definitely required. Was your route directly to XIA? I'm landing first in TAO for two hours, I'm wondering if I need to get anything in TAO or not. Thanks for your input!
