So 2 hours is enough for all the passengers to get off the plane, fill all the papers and get back on the plane? This is so dumb, why do not just let all the people stay on the plane, I assume it would not count as entering the country.

Other question, what do the Chsina customs actually check? Plane tickets or passport entries?
Lets say we do not get off the plane in URC so only see the customs in CAN. Would they check that we took a stop in URC?
