LAX-TPE-PVG is fine. You need a

PVG-LAX is fine
PVG-HKG-LAX is fine, you can stop over in Hong Kong for 7 days. Assuming you don't have this permit

PVG-HKG-TPE-LAX is tricky. Technically if you stop over in HKG you are supposed to fly to a "third country" and China wouldn't count TPE as a "third country". Not really sure. You need the first mentioned permit to leave the TPE airport and purely flying HKG-TPE is fine.
