	Shanghai, China
		As a general rule, Puxi is the embodiment of 'Old Shanghai' and Pudong is the embodiment of a 'New Shanghai'.
		Once known as "Paris of the East," Shanghai in the early twentieth century was the most glamorous, decadent and cultured city in China and all of Asia.
		Shanghai, in Chinese, means "by the sea." Its advantageous location, on the banks of the Yangtze River delta, would soon propel it to prominence.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Shanghai eases China's one-child rule
		Experts said the easing of restrictions in Shanghai was likely to foreshadow similar steps across the country as local authorities began to realise the growing financial and social costs of birth quotas would soon outweigh the benefits of reining in the population.
		In Shanghai, which has a population of 17 million, the authorities are concerned that the shrinking pool of high-rate taxpayers will be unable to support an elderly population which is set to increase rapidly.
		Demographic experts say Shanghai - one of the first cities in China to adopt a one-child policy in the late 60s - will again be a pioneer in gradually unwinding the restrictions.

	Babylonian ( Iraqi ) Jewish community in Shanghai, China
		I consider myself a by-product of Babylonian Jewry living in Shanghai which had come under the influence of British culture and which had gradually assimilated itself with the language, literature and social traditions of the English people.
		Shanghai was a city of tremendous opportunities, an international city open and free to all who wished to come there and make a quick fortune.
		It was the British who set the tone in Shanghai and the Babylonian Jews quickly adapted themselves to their style of living: their dress, their homes which were often built like estates, with high buildings and wide stretches garden areas surrounding them.
