Do I need a China Visa for Taiwan China Japan flights booked on different airlines? - Man in Brown Coat in Front of Books

We are American and flying this route:

  1. USA > TPE
  2. TPE > PEK
  3. PEK > KIX (5 days in Beijing)
  4. Train to Tokyo
  5. NRT > USA

1 and 2 are on Airline A, 3 is on Airline B, 5 is on Airline C.

I am assuming airlines don't matter, only the Chinese cities, so does this qualify for 144 hour visa?
