City of Shanghai

Its strategic location, the opium, silk and tea trade, made Shanghai the largest industrial and commercial centre in China.

But at the same time, exploitation, vice, gambling and prostitution were rampant, contributing to Shanghai’s novel and adventurous image and becoming the goal of all the world’s hustlers.

The discontent of the popular classes was the breeding ground for a movement against foreigners and against the Qing dynasty itself, which was of Manchu origin and was always considered foreign, even after three centuries in power.

In 1900, the Boxer Revolt broke out in Beijing.

In 1902 the Recovery Society was founded in Shanghai with the aim of expelling foreigners and the Qing dynasty itself.

In 1921 the Chinese Communist Party was founded in Shanghai.

In 1927, the revolutionary movement was crushed by Chang Kai-shek’s troops.

In 1937 Shanghai was taken over by the Japanese, who controlled it until the end of World War II in 1945.

During the war it was a refuge for thousands of Europeans, including many Jews.

In 1949 the Communists came to power and Shanghai did not lose its cultural, political and economic prominence within China.

Since then, it has only grown in all respects and when we talk about the Chinese economic miracle, we are largely referring to Shanghai.

So much so that important cities have not hesitated to twin with Shanghai, as is the case with Chicago, London, Barcelona and Oslo, among others.

Its economic and political strength is so evident within China that it has even aroused the misgivings of Beijing itself.
