"Shanghai, with its own dialect, has some of China’s
strictest population controls. To be defined a “local,” one
must be born in the city to Shanghainese parents, be a skilled
professional with residence of at least seven years and tax
receipts to prove it, or marry a Shanghai local and remain
married for 10 years.
The residency policies fuel chauvinism by Shanghainese
against newcomers and reinforce divisions between the two groups,"

This strengthens my theory that China is an empire made up of many different "countries", one of which is Shanghai.
