    And with the development of its export-oriented economy, the city looks set to become an international trade and financial center on the west bank of the Pacific Ocean.
    But many Shanghai people are not content simply to sit and wait for the foreigners to come to them-they want to go abroad themselves to try their luck.
    The Shanghainese have a reputation for being able to find work the world over. Before the founding of New China in 1949m hundreds of thousands of them were trading throughout the world.
    In the 1950s and 1960s when the country was pursuing its closed door policy, hundreds of factories, research institutes and universities involving more than I million people-were moved from Shanghai into the inland areas to support the nation’s socialist construction.
