Is a three-hour transfer time in SFO safe?
score:4
You will have to go through TSA security to get to the A gates, as that side of the international terminal does not have a secure connector. The China Eastern check-in area is in the area marked "International Terminal Main Hall" on the airport map. You'll then walk the rest of the way across that hall to the security checkpoint, then down to the A gates.
This is doable in three hours, even more so if you do not need to retrieve baggage, but it doesn't provide a ton of safety margin if your flight is delayed. If you miss your connection, the replacement flight will likely be at your expense since you've bought separate tickets, and a last-minute purchase will be expensive. And China Eastern only operates one flight a day to Shanghai (3/week to Qingdao), so missing the connection will likely mean an overnight stay unless you buy last-minute tickets on United's afternoon Shanghai flights.
Whether or not the risk to your time and wallet is worth it is your decision.
