Yes, because it's on base fare T-B which earns 100% MQM on DL.

But there are already better deals, going to SE asia, instead of just China

And questions should be posted in the Discussion subforum

A week in Shanghai sounds like there's a purpose to the trip beyond earning miles. OP will presumably have expenses for lodging, meals, etc. plus a hotel night in Chengdu.
