Actually, given he only needs to clear outgoing customs this seems reasonable. Though I think it requires a change in terminals, CZ is in T2 and I think UA is in T1.
Outgoing customs at PVG is pretty dang quick, no scanning of luggage or anything, and lines are pretty fast. The hard part is done in CAN.
