Does anyone know whether this is the case for SK as well?

All information available online points towards the contrary, but there's not much about it so I figured I'd ask here for first hand information.

Thank you for any help!
Did this in 2013 arriving in PVG on SK and transferring onto NZ to AKL.

At that time you could not use the transit facility when arriving on SK. I had to enter China, pick-up my luggage and recheck it on NZ.

Should be easier now as you can use the 72-Hour Visa-Free Transit and thus do not need a visa (in case you still need to enter China and recheck luggage)
