Tell me, please, is it possible with a Taiwan visa is in China? If not, is it possible, with a Taiwan visa, to use the 72-hour visa-free stay in Shanghai for the following routes:
The first option is different airports arriving and departing from Shanghai:
1) Sheremetyevo Moscow - Shanghai Pudong (9.00, May 17) - Shanghai Hongqiao (14.15, May 17) - Taipei Songshan (TSA)
2) Taipei Songshan (TSA) - Shanghai Hongqiao (19.15, 24 May) - Shanghai Pudong (18.00, 25 May) - Sheremetyevo Moscow
The second option is the same airports arrivals and departures from Shanghai:
1) Sheremetyevo Moscow - Shanghai Pudong (9.00, May 17) - Shanghai Pudong (12.30, May 17) - Taipei Taiwan (TPE)
2) Taipei Taiwan (TPE) - Shanghai Pudong (16.40, May 24) - Shanghai Pudong (12.10, 25 May) - Sheremetyevo Moscow.
In which case is it necessary to arrange a Chinese visa?

No, to enter the territory of China, you need a Chinese (not Taiwan, not Hong Kong) visa! A 72-hour visa-free transit requires that the arrival and departure are strictly from one airport. Thus, with the second variant of air travel (when both arrival and departure are made from one Shanghai Pudong Airport) you can take advantage of a 72-hour visa-free transit on the way back.
