Shenzhen’s close proximity to Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Macau has lead to the other cities having service instead of Shenzhen. However Shenzhen is a major manufacturing center as well as the home of the second largest financial center in China behind only Shanghai.
Any route to the US from SZX would have zero competition right now and in my opinion be an immediate success.
Then why isn't United flying it from SFO?
