Hello, I am an American citizen traveling from Japan to Beijing (for 72h) and going back to the USA (Los Angeles). I have a connection in Japan (for 2.5 hours, I won't leave the airport) on my way back to the USA. Do I qualify for the 72h free transit as my final destination in Los Angeles?

Nope. The Chinese immigration considers whether your first destination (including transit points) outside China is in the same country you arrived from.

Is the connection or final destination considered to qualify for 72 h transit visa?
