Foreign hukou pays social security in Shanghai.

Legal analysis: foreign accounts can be paid in Shanghai social security institutions. Due to the establishment of a unified national social security network and the implementation of the joint insurance system, social security cards can also be used in other places.

Legal basis: Article 19 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that if an individual is employed across the overall planning area, his basic old-age insurance relationship will be transferred accordingly, and the payment period will be calculated cumulatively. When an individual reaches the statutory retirement age, the basic pension is calculated in stages and distributed uniformly. Specific measures shall be formulated by the State Council.
