Good afternoon! Bait Latvian citizen. In November, I will arrive from Frankfurt (Germany) at Shanghai Pudong Airport, spend 2.5 hours there and fly on to Okinawa. After 10 days from Okinawas, I will again arrive at Shanghai Pudong Airport, spend 8 hours there and fly on to Frankfurt Airport. All flights are executed by China eastern airlines. What kind of visa do I need to take in such a case?

You don't need a visa as you are eligible for the 24h visa free transit.

And if I want to go out of the airport for a few hours?

Then you need to get a temporary 24 hours visa free entry at the border counter.
