I'm assuming CZ will through-check bags to the final destination, even if on separate tickets but all on CZ metal ? Considering FRA - CAN - TPE for an outbound leg, but with the way the pricing works out (huge difference), would be better to buy the CAN - TPE segment separately. Would 3h be sufficient ? I am guessing TPE is like HKG and treated as an int'l destination for transit purposes.
I've never done an I-I connection in China, but I did I-D in CAN in June and I'm pretty sure both requires clearing immigration and re-checking bags (like the US). It wasn't too bad. Took maybe 30 minutes to clear immigration (including filling out an entry form). Another 30 minutes to find the check-in counter and check bags (in the same terminal). 3 hours would be fine in most cases.
