Hi, you can go to El Paso in Texas at the border of US & Mexico, and ask a
taxi driver to drive you over the border to the US Consulate located at the
Mexica side of the Border, and apply for an F-1 visa. You should claim you
come to Mexico for a trip, then you will get a 2-entry F-1 visa, for one
entry, you will use it to come back to US, for another one, you can use it
for coming back from China. This way, you will not have to apply visa in
China. I have been told by my friend that NO Body has been rejected by the
Consulate in Mexico, so that's a safe way.

I don't know what you meant when you said your visa "has expired", because
as long as you keep a legal status, your visa will not expire. The vise
will expire at the time when you leave U.S. If you were saying your legal
status here has expired, you will get some trouble wherever you apply for a
visa.

By the way, if you apply for an F-1 visa in Shanghai, since you are going
back from U.S., so you don't have to wait a week. Actually, you will get
your visa in the same day you apply it.

Good luck to you.
