On a related note, I'm getting closer and closer to attempting to fly back via Thailand. If I take the plunge, I'll apply for an actual Thai visa which would give me up to 90 days to sort things out over there, plus something more real than an entry stamp to show the PRC consulate. I'm also in no rush to do the quarantine drill.
I believe you’d need to fly directly from the USA in order to be approved for the HDC code that gets you into China. So by all means go enjoy Thailand for 3 months (although I doubt it’s enjoyable at the moment) but don’t count on it being a route back into the Middle Kingdom. If you want back in here you need to fly from the USA.
