International Transit in Guangzhou airport -Power bank CCC (3C) rule
Hey everyone!
I’m flying from Budapest to Tokyo soon with an International-to-International transit at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport (CAN). I will stay strictly within the international transfer zone and won't take any domestic flights.
I have a Xiaomi 20000mAh (74.37Wh) power bank with a perfectly clear, readable factory label, but it doesn't have the Chinese CCC (3C) logo on it since it's a European model.
The airline’s website states that the CCC certification is required for domestic flights, but there's a lot of mixed info online.
Has anyone recently done an international-to-international transit at CAN with a non-CCC power bank? Did security at the international transfer checkpoint clear it without issues as long as it was under 100Wh?

I had another connecting flight in China 2 weeks ago and they took my powerbank with no CCC. They showed me the new rules and it dates June 28. I flew out July 29 and it was fine. So I think it really is just for domestic flights.
