You need a visa to visit mainland China.

Just below the bit you’ve quoted, it also says this:

Visa-free transit through China is permitted, from 24 hours to 144 hours depending on location.

Indeed it does but it’s not totally clear exactly how long Aston is going to spend in China. He said 5 nights which can be more than 144 hours depending on arrival and departure times,

OK I’ll bite.

Even if it was 6 full 24 hour days including 5 nights, 6×24=144 so not more than 144 hours if only 5 nights?
