Answer 1

nooo!!1

u hav british passport!!! no worriesss!!

Answer 2

nope but it will be hard to enter Beijing during Olympic games

Answer 3

No, not if you remain in transit and do not leave the transfer/transit area. If you wish to exit the airport in Beijing then you would require a visa and would have to go through customs and immigration on the way out and then again on the way back in to catch your plane.

Given that you only have two hours it wouldn't make much sense to leave the airport so I presume you'll be staying in the transit area and will therefore not need a visa.

Answer 4

No need for any Visa , as you will only be transiting in Beijing . U don't need a visa  if you don't wanna enter the country .

Answer 5

You have a Visa-free transit.

Visas are not required of aliens who hold air tickets to the final destination and have booked seats on international airliners flying directly through China, and will stay in a transit city for less than 24 hours without leaving the airport.

Answer 6

if u stay in the airport, u won't need one.

if ur airplane is delayed or canceled and u have to stay in china overnight, the people there will give u a temporary one.
