TL;DR
Transiting through China on the way to Nha Trang is generally a smooth and even enjoyable option (you can explore a colorful country), but immigration lines can be long, so arrive early. If your next connection is also via China, some items may get confiscated at security — direct flights to another country usually cause no issues.
If your next connection is also via China, some items (like duty-free liquids) may get confiscated at security. Flying straight to another country without a second China transit is usually fine.
Immigration lines in Chinese airports can be very long and staff aren't in a hurry. It's recommended to arrive early and allow extra time for your connection compared to other countries.
A layover in China on the way to Vietnam isn't a hassle — it's actually a nice bonus, letting you briefly explore one of the most colorful countries in the world.
