Do I qualify for visa free layover in China?

Do I qualify for visa free layover in China? - Protest for Free Belarus on Street of Minsk

I am traveling from US to India, stopping in PEK.

I hold Indian passport, but my US visa has expired (traveling to get it renewed).

I was wondering if I can take the US -> PEK -> India flight without holding any Chinese visa?

Basically does the fact that I do not have valid US visa, invalidate the layover requirements for China.
