Leonard, no, you don’t need it because you can enjoy the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai.

Sheldon,
Thank you for your answer.
A company told me that the 144 hours is discretionary and we might not be allowed into Shanghai without an entry permit. Is this true or is the company casting doubt because they want my money?

In principle, you can enjoy the 144 hour free transit, but I cannot assure what may happen in real practice.
