Kenyan Passport, USA Permanent Resident

Hello, the website says that, "No visa is required for foreigners who hold tickets to the final destination and have booked seats on international airlines, ships, trains transiting directly through China, and will stay for less than 24 hours and do not leave the specified transit area.Foreigners are able to apply for a Temporary Entry Permit to leave the port for city sightseeing or going to a dock or a railway station..."

Does this apply to all foreigners or does this just refer to foreigners who are passport holders of the 51 countries listed? Please let me know as I am booking an international flight for next week. Thanks.
