CAN I GET 144-HOUR VISA?

Hello, i am flying Copenhagen-Paris-Shanghai-paris-Stockholm but i will only be connecting in Paris i will not go out
I will be flying from Country A which is Denmark to Country B which is shanghai, china and onward to my third country which is Sweden but to get to Sweden i will have a connecting flight in Paris
Am i entitled to the 144-hour free transit?
This is what the instructions says:
Passengers should hold an onward ticket with a confirmed seat and date as well as a valid visa to a third country or region if needed.
× Sweden-shanghai-Sweden
√ Denmark-Shanghai-Sweden, via paris

Copenhagen-Paris-Shanghai-Paris-Stockholm is not eligible for the 144 hr free transit in Shanghai. You need to apply for a visa for this trip.

I am now going to be flying Stockholm-Paris-Shanghai-amsterdam-Stockholm ( I will only be connecting in Paris and amsterdam)
and i just contacted the immigration in shanghai and they told me that they only count the last flight for me that would be the Paris-shanghai and Shanghai-Amsterdam flights, for example i can fly Stockholm-Paris-Shanghai but not the same route back on the return flight i must fly to another country/City like Shanghai-Amsterdam-Stockholm?!
My final route would be as i mentioned above including the connecting flights in Paris and Amsterdam
Stockholm-Paris-Shanghai-Amsterdam-Stockholm
Do you think this is the right way and am i entitled to the 144-hour visa if i fly this routes? just double checking with you ?!
Thanks

That's fine if the immigration says so. Under no circumstances will you be able to travel Paris-Shanghai-Paris without a visa since that's not transit. OTOH Paris-Shanghai-Amsterdam is clearly transit and will be fine.
