Does one need to have an interline ticket (connecting ticket) to be allowed a 144-hour visa-free transit in China? Or does any onward ticket suffice?
The wording is ambiguous.
The policy in Chinese states that a 联程客票 (联=connected;程=journey;客=passenger;票=ticket) with confirmed date and seat is needed. In its basic sense, it means a connecting ticket....

Is a Chinese passport holder eligible for South Korea 30-day visa exemption?
The KETA has nothing to do with the 30-day exemption. It's the Korean equivalent of the ESTA and brethren, an authorization to fly to the country that issues it, for people who have visa-free access. ...

There's no issue with this plan per se. The only question is, do you have (need?) a visa for Malaysia? I suppose you're an Indian citizen?
UPDATE:
I have a Malaysia tourist visa. I'm a Bangladeshi ...

Is it allowed to have two 144-hour visa-free transits in China within a short period?
I haven't seen anything in the policy that precludes this. A few hours could be considered as suspicious, but a few days will be fine.
As far as I can tell from the policy text, as long as you check ...

What's the Luohu highway port in Shenzhen that is allowed to be used as an exit port after being granted 144h visa-free transit in Guangdong Province?
I believe it's a mistranslation. Luohu has no road. There's the main footbridge for travelers, and the railway bridge + (restricted access) footbridge.
They were probably trying to express something ...

Am I allowed to leave Mainland China without using the onward ticket used to get visa-free entry (I'll leave in due time)? If so must I notify anyone?
I believe you can't – or at least shouldn't: your onward flight is documented when you pass through Immigration for the TWOV. Since there are exit checks in China, your file will pop up when leaving, ...
