No, you do not need any kind of visa because your itinerary is definitely eligible for 240 hour visa free transit. Here one additional detail... The citizens of the Netherlands do not need a visa for a stay in China for up to 30 days, so they do not have to bother about 24/240 hour visa free transit because it is not something that is related to them. Since you travel is after December 31 of this year, you can plan your itinerary in the way to be eligible for 240 hour visa free transit as you have already done, but it is expected that the Chinese authorities will announce even 2026 to be a visa free year for the citizens of the majority of EU countries, the Netherlands included. The announcement is expected to be published soon. Even if that visa free policy is not extended for the citizens of the Netherlands, your itinerary remains eligible for 240 hour visa free transit and you do not need a visa definitely. Have a wonderful journey.
