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?
i can understand your frustration - but there is nothing that anyone can do to change it.
On arrival in URC your flights turns from an international one to a domestic one. You have to enter China at URC.
Maybe one day they will change the flight so that passengers continuing on to CAN will not have to disembark or enter China. Then you would arrive in CAN as as an international passenger and be entitled to the full 144 hour TWOV.
But as of now you complete immigration in URC, then you arrive in CAN as a domestic passenger. You see no one in CAN, just collect bags and exit.
