Passport entry checks for China

From the GOV.UK entry page

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

If you renew your passport while you are in China, contact your local exit and entry office or call the national immigration service hotline on 12367, before or immediately upon receipt.

When returning to the UK, British citizens must carry a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement.

If you enter China on a Chinese passport or identity card, the British Embassy will not be able to offer you help.

This policy applies to all holders of standard British passports whose nationality is listed as ‘British citizen.’ Holders of British Crown Dependency passports whose nationality is listed as ‘British citizen’ are eligible for this policy.

Check this trip in TripCheck

TripCheck’s trip validity checker keeps the passport beside the dates and destination of one trip. It reads the document you stored and the journey you entered. It does not replace the official entry page, and it does not decide whether an airline or a border officer will let you travel.

Pro is £3.99 a month or £24.99 a year, about £2.08 a month. A new account includes a 7-day Pro trial. The free plan holds 2 active documents. This guide does not add a visa fee, a stay limit, or an entry test of its own. The only travel claims in the article are the sentences copied from the GOV.UK entry page.

Open the app, save the passport, and attach it to the trip before you leave. Then read the GOV.UK page linked below. If a requirement is not in the quoted sentences, this guide is not stating it. The border authority and the airline remain the ones who decide whether you travel.
