I'm an Azerbaijani citizen flying from Saint Petersburg (LED) to Tokyo (HND) with a transit flight in Shanghai (PVG) (3-hour layover), all with China Eastern Airlines. Bot flights are on same ticket, with same numbers.

Do I need transit visa? I'm litle bit confused, because there is so much information about a transit in China. I checked both Timatic and Traveldoc, both says that I don't need visa, but i want to be sure. Here is also new anouncments, says that all foreigners doesn't need to have transit visa for 24h. https://en.nia.gov.cn/n147418/n147463/c156086/content.html

Is a visa required for airside transit in China (Shanghai Pudong International Airport) for Azerbaijani citizens?

No. Sources: see question. These are the most reliable sources available short of pinpointing the exact legal text it came from (even if someone took the time to find it, could be outdated), and airlines themselves typically use Timatic.
