Wali, I assume that you were flying on 24 hour visa free transit, i.e. your transit time through China was less than 24 hours, right? In this case, the passenger has to apply for a temporary entry permit like you did to be allowed to exit the airport, but you should be aware that the issuing of this permit is not a passenger's right, but a privilege that depends entirely upon discretion of immigration authorities. So, you were out of luck during your last time and hopefully, it could be different the next time, but you should always count on the fact that this is privilege that could be granted or denied.
