need help! do we qualify for the 144 free transit?

Question

Hi, we are planning to visit Shanghai next month, we have US Passport but will be leaving from Philippines to Shanghai then Shanghai connecting to Shenzhen then to Philippines. Do we qualify for the 144 free transit? Where only going to Shanghai for 2 days. I am really trying not to pay additional for the entry permit. Does anybody have any suggestion?

You can't have 72 or 144 hours free transit if you have two stops in China. And you can't have free transit in Shenzhen. Philippines-Shanghai-Hong Kong-Philippines would work.
