do we need a visa if we don't leave the plane ?

Question

We will travel on a Cargolux flight, just stopping over in CGO (Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport) and will stay on board to continue to Novosibirsk. We will not enter Chinese territory physically ! thanks for a very quick reply :)best regards Pascal

So you just transit in Zhengzhou, right? If your transit is less than 24 hours, then you needn't apply for any type. It is longer than 24 hours, then you should apply for a G type in advance.
