The picture at Xining Caojiabao
Identity and operational scope
A traveller who has been verified at entry may still encounter multiple identity touchpoints before boarding.
The provincial government describes the system across check-in, bag drop, security and boarding in the new terminal.
The publication establishes intended passenger process coverage; it does not isolate AI's role in overall throughput.

Editorial assessment
Xining's new terminal offers a designed end-to-end identity path. The airport still needs to show whether that path works reliably for both enrolled and non-enrolled travellers.
