However, perapoma, it's your butt so you're the one who's got to gamble or not. If you try it without a visa, do report back and let us know if you were able to board and get through Immigration without hassles, or if you had trouble but were able to talk your way out of it....or something else.
Yes... Quite a headache with this issue already. MU staff at KIX also don't want to hear much abut me trying to board the plane without a G visa, but this is at odds with what the GC and the PVG Immigration officer said. In the end, it seems I'll just maybe be better off applying again and getting it done at once.

In any case, I saw in other threads that people were commenting about when the first stop in China is marked as a "technical stop". Does anyone know if this make any difference? Actually, in my ticket it is stated: MU748 Osaka to Kunming (1 technical stop in PVG).

Thanks
