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.
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.

When you cross the International Date Line traveling from Asia to North America, you will lose a day. This is because the Date Line serves as the boundary for calendar days; when you cross it from east to west, you subtract a day. For example, if it's Monday in Asia, upon crossing the Date Line, it will be Sunday in North America.
The international date line roughly follows the 180° longitude line in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross this line from west to east, you advance one day, and when you cross from east to west, you go back one day.
No. The International Date Line does not go through China.
No, not unless you're going the long way. ;)

When you cross the International Date Line, you move from one day to the next. This imaginary line on the Earth's surface marks the change in calendar days.
1 day

the Pacific Ocean
The International date line is in the Pacific Ocean, west of Hawaii. If you fly west from Florida to Beijing you will cross the Pacific Ocean and this will cross the date line. If you fly east from Florida to Beijing you will not literally cross the date line, but the time change will still be the same as if you had. Miami, Florida, and Beijing, China, are 12 hours apart, so when it is 11:00 pm on Thursday in Miami it is 11:00 am on Friday in Beijing.
