That depends on where you're coming from to go to Shanghai. No wait ! On second thought, it doesn't even depend on that. No matter where you're starting from, you can travel in either one of two opposite directions and wind up in Shanghai. That's because the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball). So . . . -- Regardless of where you are when you start out, you always have a choice of two directions for your trip to Shanghai. -- One direction is a longer trip, and the other direction is a shorter one. -- In one direction, you'll cross the International Dateline on your way to Shanghai. In the other direction, you won't.
No. The International Date Line does not go through China.

If you travel east from North America, crossing over the Atlantic Ocean, you would not cross the International Date Line to reach China.If, instead, you travelled west from North America, crossing over the Pacific Ocean, you would cross over the International Date Line to reach China.
No, not unless you're going the long way. ;)

No. The CGU's were devalued in 1949 by the Chinese government. They may hold some nominal value as a collectable, but currently that is it.
The International Date Line (IDL) roughly follows the 180° longitude which is called the 180th meridian or antimeridian. The line deviates to pass around some territories and island groups (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, etc). The Date Line deviates from the straight line of longitude to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), Russia (Wrangel Island and Chukchi Peninsula), or New Zealand, and island nations such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands.
The International Date Line (IDL) is roughly along 180° longitude, with diversions to pass around some territories and island groups.
The International Date Line, which generally follows the 180 degree line of longitude. However, the International Date Line takes several jogs and swings east and west to keep island groups all in the same "date".
