Also read that many flights into and out of PVG are usually delayed in which I am wondering if the 3 hour connection time will be enough.
3 hours is a safe cushion, especially if on one ticket. The delay problem doesn't affect inbound longhuals a great deal. I'm guessing that you will need to exit and reenter. This would not be necessary if you flew MU on the same routing.
