Shanghai > Guangzhou (transit) > Myanmar

Hi, I hold a Dutch passport and I'll be in Shanghai for 3 full days. I arrive on the 14th at 6:25am and leave on the 17th at 8:45am. On the 17th I'm flying to Myanmar but I have a stop in Guangzhou airport. According to the 144 hours policy, you cannot transit in other Chinese airports from/to airports where you can apply for the visa on entry. However, this transit is part of my leg and it's how I booked it with the airline. There's no other way for me to go to Myanmar. Do you think I can still apply for the 144 hours policy? Thanks!
