Grenada is one of those small islands for which you can get a passport easily, all you need to do is a business investment. So if you have a few hundred thousand of spare cash lying around, that's an easy way to get visa free access to China.

Most of the countries in post 59 are similar.

Are there time limits that restrict how often you can apply for TWOV?
Specifically, if I buy HEL-CAN-HEL from AY and CAN-SIN-CAN from SQ, stay at SIN for a week, and want to overnight at CAN both ways, would this be possible?

I did last year HEL-CAN-HEL on AY and CAN-NRT, HND-CAN on NH with a week in Tokyo. No problem with TWOV in CAN both ways (except that on the first arrival it took over two hours for the Chinese immigration to process the TWOV).

Very different experience the previous time on TPE-XIY(-HEL), were I was indeed the very last passenger admitted, and the staff did not seem to expect TWOV from a CI flight.
