International transfers at Shanghai PVG airport
I booked a trip from New York to Busan flying on China Eastern the entire way with a 2 hour layover in Shanghai PVG airport. As this is my first time having a international transfer, I didn't know there are procedures for international transfers until recently. Below is a picture of their international transfer procedure.
I believe I am the second type of passenger, the one labeled "Other Airline Transfer Process".
What is the joint inspection process and what does it entail? I would assume it a regular passport/customs control.
Does PVG have anything like the Mobile Passport app to quickly get through customs? (Mobile Passport allows travelers to input their travel info and quickly get through customs without waiting in line in select airports. I'm not affiliated with Mobile Passport in any way)
Is there a site that tells travelers how long a passport control/customs line is at any given airport terminal? Like many questions here, I am not sure if my 2 hour layover will suffice.
If anyone has any experience, particularly a PVG international transfer, it will be helpful.

They've been talking about airside international transfers at PVG for some time, but if they don't, you really don't need to worry with one ticket and one airline- it's pretty much their problem.
Just don't dally unnecessarily and make sure you know where your bags are checked through to when you check in in NY. If they're marked PUS or PVG.. so you know if you have to retrieve them.
