This nesting thing can make this trip insane. And you can do it all as a true mileage run, if you really love sitting in planes.
Found this option through Google Flights...
1) bog-mia-ewr-pek
2) pek-ewr-clt
3) clt-iad-ewr-pek
4) pek-ord-mia-bog
I used the dates March 5, 7, 9, 11.
Time on the ground...
Between legs 1-2 - 2 hrs in PEK (3-5 PM)
Between legs 2-3 - 8 hrs overnight in CLT (10 PM-6 AM)
Between legs 3-4 - 1 day (3 PM to 5 PM next day)...might be able to do same day
Total travel time - Leave at 9:30 PM on March 5, return at 6 AM on March 12.
Total mileage - 33,895 (may vary based on routing)
Cost - $501.50 (may vary based on exchange rate...ticket booked in Colombian Pesos)
CPM - 1.48
This is tempting...get a few good books, some good music, and get comfortable. Someone who's better with UAL policies than I might know if you can use miles to upgrade any of these. If so, that makes this even more tempting.

I suggest you read the China TWOV rules before suggesting a same day turn without a visa.
