Hi, you may misread the news, they indeed signed an agreement, but it only apply to holders of diplomatic, service, official, or public affairs passports from either country to visit the other without visa. If both your ways are transit in Shanghai without leaving the airport, no visa is required. Otherwise, you have to apply for a China transit visa in advance.
