| | | | Shanghai - Popular stereotypes: Encyclopedia II - Shanghai - Economy and demographics Shanghai is the financial and trade center of China. It began with economic reforms in 1992, a decade later than many of the Southern Chinese provinces. Prior to then, much of the city revenue went directly to the capital, Beijing, with little return. Even with a decreased tax burden after 1992, Shanghai's tax contribution to the central government is around 20-25% of the national total (Shanghai's annual tax burden pre-1990s was on average 70% of the national). Shanghai today is the biggest and most developed city in mainland China.
In 2005, Shanghai became the world's busiest port in terms of cargo throu ...
