Shanghai
With the world’s second largest economy, China is a leading exporter of
business and consumer goods and a vast land of opportunity for Western
products and international investment. Shanghai, in turn, serves as the
gateway to Mainland China and increasingly the door for China's
burgeoning outbound investment. A city with a long history of
internationalism, Shanghai reopened to the world following China’s
economic reforms in the 1990s. Since then, it has become China’s
economic engine. Today, Shanghai is one of the world’s busiest ports and
a magnet for foreign investment, recording double-digit economic growth
for 14 consecutive years and attracting hundreds of international
businesses to the skyscrapers of its Pudong financial district.
