Shanghai a world-class city? Please.

With the grandiose World Expo newly unveiled, Shanghai seems to be telling the world that it has everything every major international city has.

From the superb Pudong International Airport, the modern Yangshan deepwater port, the Maglev bullet train and the subway network to the numerous skyscrapers and luxury shopping arcades, Shanghai has built more in the last two decades than many cities have done in a century.
