It is one of the world’s largest seaports and a major industrial and commercial center of China. The city is located on the coast of the East China Sea between the mouth of the Yangtze River to the north and the bay of Hangzhou to the south. The municipality’s area includes the city itself, surrounding suburbs, and an agricultural hinterland. Shanghai is China’s most-populous city, and the municipality is its most-populous urban area. Shanghai was one of the first Chinese ports to be opened to Western trade, and it long dominated the nation’s commerce. Since the communist victory in 1949, however, it has become an industrial giant whose products supply China’s growing domestic demands. ------------------------------ Population: ------------------------------ ★
