hello, 144 hour visa free transit

Question

I am flying from the U.K to Hong Kong, then from Hong Kong to Shanghai for 2 days before leaving for Taiwan. I believe this qualifies for the 144 hour transit exemption. However I have a couple questions. Firstly, My flight from Hong Kong to Shanghai and then Shanghai to Taiwan two days later is with two different airlines as I booked my tickets separately (more cost effective). Will this matter? Will I still need to inform my airline from Hong Kong to Shanghai (China Eastern) of my desire for a 144 hour free transit even though my airline leaving Shanghai (Juneyao) is different?Secondly, upon booking my flight out of Shanghai I wasn't sent an e-ticket but an itinerary and an e-receipt  showing my flight class (economy), price I paid, full name, flight date and flight number. Usually tickets aren't issued until at least 24 hours in advance of departure, so would what I have received from my booking suffice to prove that I am in fact leaving Shanghai in 2 days as I wouldn't get an e-ticket until at least the day before I'm scheduled to leave Shanghai.Thank you.

e-tickets are issued when you have paid and not until the day before departure. They will want confirmation of on-ward ticket. Using different flights are OK.

Exactly, and seeing as I will be in Shanghai for 2 days I would not be issued my e-ticket until my second day there. So my e-receipt/itinerary for the flight I paid for will serve as confirmation of my on-ward ticket?Thank you

You’re confusing your eticket with your boarding pass. They are two different things. You won’t need your boarding pass, just your confirmation with the ticket number.
