Lisa · Answer

Visas are not required of citizens of Netherlands, who transit through Pudong Airport or Hongqiao Airport of Shanghai, provided they hold valid passports, visas for the onward countries, final destination tickets and have booked seats, and stay in Shanghai for less than 48 hours.  According to this statement, you do not need a visa in that case.
