Does the Jiangxi-Guangdong Canal have an impact on Shanghai?

Yes After the completion of the Gan-Yue Canal, ships from the Yangtze River to the Pearl River Delta will no longer have to go through the southeast coastal areas such as Shanghai, Zhejiang and Fujian, which will reduce the voyage of 1.200 kilometers and also affect the income of the southeast coastal areas such as Shanghai, Zhejiang and Fujian, so the Gan-Yue Canal will have an impact on Shanghai. The Gan-Yue Canal is the main traffic artery between Ganjiang River in Jiangxi and Taojiang River in Guangdong, with wider and deeper waterway and higher navigable tonnage.
