DL has plenty of connecting options from NYC to PVG to be able to use the GUC on DL metal. DL recently ended their only flight to HK so it cannot be used there. Lastly if you did a mixed itinerary something like NYC-DTW-ICN-HKG/PVG, you could use the GUC on the TPAC portion if it were on DL metal.
If you can now use GUCs on KE operated flights, this is new. You can use DL miles to upgrade from FULL Y fares to business class under the SkyTeam mileage upgrade award program.
