ORD-PVG-ORD
and BKK-PVG-PVG
will I get in trouble with not getting a visa because I am transiting through Shanghai twice within a span of 6 days but staying in Shanghai less than 48 hrs every time.

If I am good to do the above, what documents besides tickets, US passport, and Chinese embassy ruling would I need to present in ORD, PVG, BKK


Thank you very much for your insights
As long as you adhere to their rules, you have nothing to worry about: 48 hours to arrive by air and depart by air to a different country. If you had the desire, you could play this game 100+ times per year, and still be in compliance. You don't need any special documents, but a simple TIMATIC printout wouldn't be a bad idea, though I cringe at the thought of all the wasted paper this thread has generated.
