Why is Shanghai the Japanese's favorite city?

Shanghai has always been the city with the greatest penetration of Japanese spies in China. When the new school rose, the teachers of the new school were all students studying in Japan, and these people had a great influence on the students. Shanghai was occupied and ruled by Japan for several years, during which a lot of work was done in literature propaganda, including contacting influential people from all walks of life and sending some people to study in Japan. For example, several famous propagandists against Japan were "developed" by the Japanese in front of romantic places. At that time, new immigrant families in Shanghai were greatly influenced by Japan.

Japan's ruling philosophy hates people with ability and integrity, and hates choosing people who like low personality and values. The more ignorant, the more appreciated by the Japanese (when they occupied Shanghai, the first thing Japan did when they entered the university was to go to the library and burn all China's books). At that time, most immigrant families in Shanghai lacked this feature, and it was the only family style for these families to make a little money by hook or by crook.

There was a pro-Japanese trend of thought in Shanghai in the 1990s, and radio and television stations all had special Japanese programs.

The business layout density of Taiwanese businessmen in Shanghai is also very high, and most of these Taiwanese businessmen are Japanese-funded, and these people have also played a role in cultivating pro-Taiwan provinces. Moreover, for a long time, there were a large number of Japanese-run training companies, and various "lecturers" of these companies talked about Japan just like talking about saints in the holy land.

Shanghai's market is huge, and there is a tendency to compare with others. There are many people chasing brands, but not many people know the goods, so the profit rate is very high, and it is of great benefit to occupy the Shanghai market, which is the easiest market in Chinese mainland and Japan.

So the Japanese can get twice the result with half the effort when they get to Shanghai.
