seoul-beijing -helsinki on non-connecting flights: need 72-hours free transit to move the

Question

Hello, I have a round ticket Helsinki-Beijing/Beijing-Helsinki and a second ticket Beijing-Seoul/Seoul-Beijing.My plan is to stay in china for a week (and yes here I need a regular visa), then go to South Korea and come back from Seoul to Beijing and leave for Helsinki within 24 hours.Since the last two flight are separated/diconnected, there is no way to get my baggage directly from Seoul to Helsinki but in Beijing I have to exit the airport's transit area, get to the baggage track and the re-enter.Does the 72 hour free transit applies here?Thanks so much

Markku, if so, you can enjoy the 24 hour direct transit when you re-enter Beijing from Seoul; if you need to collect the luggage by yourself, you just need to apply for a temporary stay permit at the immigration office and then you can collect the luggage and check in again.
