The only concern at the moment is whether this continued through the Olympic/Paralympic period and if not, has it been made available again yet.

I will travel to the Philippines this coming December via Shanghai. I will have a 9 hours stopover there (24h when going back).
My question: Do I only have to show the official my passport, ticket for the connection flight and so on and than I am allowed to stay in Shanghai without a visa for 48 hours? Do they make a sign into my passport? What if I got held up by the police while walking aroung outside of the airport? Do I have to bring all the documents necessary to prove that I am only in transit?

Thanks,
Gernot
