According to my experience, you are qualified for the 144-hour free transit and can apply for the visa exemption when you arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport. For the application, you need to present your valid passport, visa for a third country or region if required, a full completed Arrival and Departure Card and an onward ticket with confirmed seat to the staff at the Transit Service Counter.
