what if 72 hour visa entry is not accepted?

Question

Travelling from Canada to Beijing - 2 day stay-over, then over to Thailand for 10 days.  Leaving Thailand, transferring back through Beijing to Canada.  Arrive in Beijing @ 17:30 on 22th, leave Beijing for Thailand @ 13:50  March 25th (68/69 hours)  - return to Beijing on April 5 (transfer only, no airport exit) for  8 hour lay-over then flight back to Canada.  Based on the hours of arrival/stay, I am within 72 hour limit - but what if for whatever reason I am refused?  As return home is transfer only, I am not counting those hours towards my 72 limit.  Just don't want to get all the way over there and be denied.

Kelly, don’t worry. You can enjoy free transit for both legs of your trip. The 72 hours is counted separately and it doesn’t add up your total layover time for your both transits in Beijing.
