Have never had this be the case anywhere else. I opted not to go in and when I went to the BA lounge, they simply glanced at my BP and let me in. Didn't scan it or anything.

Anyone know if this is a new policy?

Staffer in mainland China often gives false information and is just generally unfamiliar with FFP rules etc.
Sometimes it's a good thing like they give OWE free same-day change (a benefit only to DMs supposedly)
Other times (as your case), misleading.
