More flexibility on flight stopovers in China. If you are going somewhere else, China would probably like for you to spend some of your money in a Chinese city. I’m guessing 10 days is the duration because flights occasionally get canceled or delayed. A lot more people would need to apply to extend their visas on stopovers if it was only like 3 days.
I can kinda understand that but I’ve taken week-long overseas vacations so giving border control extra work verifying a visitor isn’t returning home “too fast” seems counter-productive
