自1840年鸦片战争后五口通商以来的140多年时间里,上海一直在中国的对外贸易中占中心地位。在80年代初中国对外开放后的10年中,上海在中国对外贸易中的地位迅速下降。但1990年中国宣布开发开放上海浦东以来,上海作为中国乃至远东地区经济、金融、贸易中心之一的地位开始重新确立,并正在带动中国长江流域的对外开放和经济发 Since more than 140 years after the Opium War of 1840, five years after the five-nation trade, Shanghai has always occupied a central position in China’s foreign trade. In the 10 years after China’s opening to the outside world in the early 1980s, Shanghai’s position in China’s foreign trade declined rapidly. However, since China announced the development and opening of Shanghai Pudong in 1990, Shanghai’s position as one of the economic, financial, and trade centers in China and even in the Far East has begun to be re-established, and is now driving the opening up and economic development of the Yangtze River Basin in China.
