Marvin, you do not need a visa if you create an itinerary that will be eligible for 240 hour visa free transit. In short, if you arrive in China from one country or eligible territory (eligible territories are Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) and depart toward different one, you will be eligible for 240 hour visa free transit. For example, these are examples of eligible itineraries:
US - mainland China (Wenzhou and other parts) - Taiwan - US
US - South Korea - mainland China (Wenzhou and other parts) - US
US - Hong Kong - mainland China (Wenzhou and other parts) - Japan - US
US - Japan - mainland China (Wenzhou and other parts) - South Korea - US
It is essential that the immediate points before and after mainland China are located in two different countries or eligible territories as you can see from the above examples. In my opinion creating an eligible itinerary is always an easier way to reach and stay in China compared to visa issuing. Now, when you know, you can create your eligible itinerary and proceed with your travel plans. In any case, you can check your itinerary here. Have a successful planning.
