how to count 90 days in period 180 days for China free visa

I first entered China with a free visa on 21-Jan-25 and have been entering and exiting continuously.
Now I have entered and exited for a total of 75 days. The free visa will be reset again on 19-Jul-25 according to the 180 days and will I get the number of days of entry and exit back to 90 days?
Or is there another way to calculate? Please advise me.

Quoted from the official: The "180-day period" is calculated separately for each traveler's visa-free stay period in China, counting backward 180 days from any given day since entry. If the cumulative visa-free stay period within the 180-day period prior to entry has already reached 90 days, visa-free entry will not be granted.

You first entry is on Jan. 21, then you can stay for 90 days visa-free in total before Jul. 17 (180 natural days). And after Jul. 17, another 90 days will be activated. So you are right, the free visa will be reset again when you enter at Jul. 19.
