That price was pre-COVID. It is almost 10x more expensive ($3000 round trip).
For you award booking, all segments are treated as one-ways.
PVG-SFO is very expensive, but if you make two separate bookings such as PVG-TPE/ICN/HND/NRT and TPE/ICN/HND/NRT-SFO, you can get reasonable prices.
Good luck.
Edit: If you have a friend who can book XN space, SFO-PVG on May 1 can be booked for 55K miles plus $30.30 taxes/fees.
Edit: BKK-HKG on April 25 can be purchased for $70 on HK Express. The miles are not a good use for this route.
