This is perfectly within the legal frames regarding 144 hours visa free transit twice:

1. (A) Philippines (Manila) - (B) China (Shanghai) - (C) Japan (several ports) - Everything according to the law

2. (A) Japan (several ports) - (B) China (Shanghai) - (C) Indonesia (Bali) - Everything according to the law

The formula is that the country of departure (A) to China (B) has to be different from the country of arrival (C) from China and this condition is perfectly satisfied in your case. All the potential users of this convenience should have in mind that Chinese government beside the countries that it recognizes, like in your case, allows the use of territories like Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan for the same purpose, i.e. they are treated like A and C areas in this formula.
