Gold status (Skyteam elite) does not give you access to any Skyteam lounge. Platinum (Skyteam Elite Plus) gives you access to Skyteam lounges on the day of departure, IF you are flying on a Skyteam operated INTL flight.
If you are an Asian Resident than it will give you access to NW operated lounges worldwide no matter which airline you fly on. So if there is a NW (maybe also KLM) operated lounge in Shanghai than you could access that lounge, however, you should be denied at all skyteam lounges not operated by NW.
