Regarding the 144 hr and 72 hr free travel, does the third country on the return have to be in Asia, or can it be in Europe as well. From what I understand, it just cannot be an exact Return RT with same itinerary of connection as traveler used to come into Shanghai.

George, it doesn’t have to be in Asia. It can be in Europe as well. For example, you can travel like USA-Shanghai-France/Japan, i.e. country A-China-Country B.

we fly from Us to VietNam but on the way back from VN we stop at Beijing 76 h, we will go to 5 days tour , are we still need China entry permit , some said yes other said no, can you tell me ?

You need a visa since Beijing has a strict 72-hour policy.
