Don't worry. You don't need to have a visa.

Hi Claudia,I’ve emailed the Chinese Embassy in Romania and their reply read that we won’t be needing a visa as long as we don’t leave the airport in Shenzhen during our layover.To double check, I suggest you email them too - for peace of mind, if nothing else.Let me know what they say, I’m expecting for them to say the same thing.Good luck  :)Liz
