Official end time of a stay in China (for visa purposes)

My flight back from China leaves on my 31th day there, just after midnight. They seem very reluctant to grand a tourist visa for more than 30 days, so I was wondering:

If I get past the airport visa officer before midnight on my 30th day, but my flight leaves on the 31th day, would I or would I not be overstaying my 30 day visa?

I called the visa center, but although they found my question amusing, they could not answer it.

(As a side question, is it reasonable to plan to 'check out of China', so to speak, before 24:00 if my flight leaves 1:40 am?)
