Stop over in Kunming for 1hr, then going to Shanghai on the same day and I will be staying in Shanghai for 24 hours. I am holding an Australian passport, does the 72hr free transit is applicable for that? I have an onward ticket to Tokyo because that's my actual destination. My airline that I booked in says 72hrs free transit policy is applicable only for direct flight to Shanghai.

Yes, your airline is correct. You can't enjoy 72 hours free stay in Shanghai.

Does the 72hrs visa free only applicable to direct flight?
