Can also confirm:
LHR-PKX (BA) / PEK-SIN (SQ)

However, we DID have problems at BA check-in. Neither
the agent nor, more disturbingly, her supervisor had any
idea of the 144-hour rule, and simply said we did not have
visas to go to China. It took them half an hour to confirm it
by telephone with the internal LHR passport office.

We were asked for printed copies of our onward tickets on arrival in China.
