In general, you have to possess a passport valid for at least 3 months from the date of entry to be allowed to enter the country. However, I suggest you to try to obtain a temporary entry permit upon your landing in Beijing regardless because it is free of any charge and your layover is really a long one. Upon landing you will first fill out arrival card, then perform fingerprinting and after that approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will present your flight tickets. Here you can expect two outcomes. You may be told that your passport is unsuitable to enter the country and be refused or you may be granted a temporary entry permit. This will be a sovereign decision of the immigration official when you arrive there. In the case of positive outcome you will proceed to the immigration and then to the city to explore it or to have a good night rest, but in the case of rejection, you will remain in the transit area of Beijing airport. You should definitely try your luck, but your chances are noticeably diminished because of the very short validity of your passport. I wish you luck, but you should be prepared even for a long waiting time in the transit area. I hope the latter will not be the case.
