I found this page in search for the same information and I found the correct information and I hope it will help someone in the future as airline agents are bricks.

Baggage Clearance regulations::
Baggage is cleared at the first airport of entry in China (People's Rep.).
Exempt: baggage of passengers in transit via Beijing (PEK), provided it is labeled to a destination outside of China, and the onward flight is within 24 hours.
There are no baggage transfer facilities at Chongqing (CKG), Xi'an (XIY), Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) or Shanghai Pudong (PVG). All baggage must be collected and re-checked in for the connecting flight.

So if you a travelling other than Beijing PEK you have to collect your bags. I confirm this with my parents experience too. 1 parent went through PVG had to collect the bags and another parent went through PEK and did not have to collect bags.
