Xiamen Airport International Transit

I'm going from Amsterdam to Taipei on this coming Sunday with a stopover at Xiamen for two hours and a half. I heard that international transfer is very complicated and that you might need to go out of the airport and then enter again to catch your connecting flight.

But I also heard that they recently abolished this policy and now connection is much smoother than before.

How is the transit experience now and is there anything I should be worried?

Plus, my ticket is unclear whether my luggage will be sent directly to Taipei from Amsterdam but I read somewhere that if your flight starts with MF... then it will be directly sent. Does anyone know anything about this as well?
