How much flexibility on changing flight out of China?

Hmm, this is annoying. Are people sure the departing flight you indicate when entering China on TWOW must be adhered to? Has anyone had experience of how its handled if you *do* change plans and take a different departing flight (still to a 3rd country, just not the same flight you originally indicated)? I'd expected TWOWs were handled like Chinese visas, where the ports of entry and departure entered at application do not need to be adhered to.

I'm planning to transit through China on a TWOW next week. My destination after China won't be decided until once I'm already in China, so I'd intended to purchase a fully refundable ticket to the most likely option and then refund it and replace it with a different ticket is my plans went that way.
