Unless this is the US thing, I was able to check the baggage through with transit time longer than 12 hours.

I would try try to ask SQ to check it through to NYC and wait what happens in PEK. As this is your return trip there is a limited risk. If they lose your baggage you will get it on the following day. But of course you may have another opinion

BTW... Today this is my 4th response to a CA query. Shouldn't we have a separate CA (or at least PRC) sub-forum...
