Return flight passes through Shanghai

I am an American with a US passport. In November, I travel to Shanghai for 3 days in order to give an academic lecture. Then I leave via the same airport to Thailand in order to lecture there for four days. Thus I should qualify for the 144 hours TWOV program while in Shanghai. However, when I return to the US from Thailand, my flight passes through Shanghai, where I switch planes. I will not leave the airport, and the layover is only a few hours. My question is this: does this count as a 'double-entry' into China, which would invalidate the 144-TWOV rule? I've called the embassies each several times, but can get no answer. Thanks kindly!

Anthony, just relax! You can enjoy the free transit in Shanghai for both legs of your trip. In this case, no entry permit is needed.
