Comparing PEK/PVG/SHA lounges with most of those other places isn't especially relevant to this thread because they aren't typical transit points between the US/Europe and Asia. NRT/HND, ICN, and HKG --on the other hand-- are, all of which have much nicer lounges than you'll find in China. Although I have no major beefs against PEK or PVG, I wouldn't dream of using them for connecting purposes without a true stopover.
