Yeah the above is my plan C. I want to avoid using Mainland Travel Permit to enter China though as all my bank accounts, driver's license, etc. are linked with my US ID..

and direct flights to Shanghai seem really sporadic and only on Spring Airlines (...)
you may wish to consider, though, that if you stay in an interim country for less than 14 days, most destinations will consider you to have transited through that interim country (instead of originating) for the purposes of their (destination country's) entry restrictions - I don't know the specific details for China
Under the current requirements my plan is to stay 14 days or more.

I saw that too, but my understanding is under current rules China would consider anything less than 14 days as having traveled from the US.
I looked at where China Eastern currently has direct flights into PVG, and spot checked several. All of them require blood serum tests and the special green code from the local embassy. Sucks.
