The one issued for travel between US and Canada is NOT a TRANSIT VISA! It is part of the privilege of being a country bounded by NAFTA, i.e. freely enter US or Canada (and Mexico for that matter) for an unlimited number of times during the period issued.

However if you are entering the US from a 3rd country that is not bounded by NAFTA, you need a TRANSIT VISA, which is usually a single-entry visa. So if you are flying from the US back to China, you need 2 visa:

1: your normal NAFTA visa
2: your transit visa
