I. The Overview of Shanghai
Shanghai lies on the west bank of the Huangpujiang River, which flows into the Changjiang (Yangtze) 28 km farther upstream. The northern part of Shanghai is separated from the rest of the city by the Wusong Jiang River. Shanghai is a special city in every respect. Only 50 years ago, it was still considered one of the most important metropolises of the world, as the trading and banking center of Asia. Foreigners lent Shanghai its appearance, making it more western than Chinese. Twenty-story-high buildings reach skyward; there are vast hotel complexes, villas and palaces that a visitor from the West can more easily identify than a temple, for they were built according to Western architectural style by former business and military men. The colonialists have gone, but their buildings remain, and the bustling life and activities of a large Chinese city prevail around them. A special kind of people lives there, brisk, smart, flexible and makes more of their appearance than other Chinese.

1、Choose One proposed name (in Chinese) for company registration, and provide two or more alternative names in case the first name is not available. In Shanghai China, only Chinese company names are officially used, while English company names are for reference only. Not every name will be accepted by the ICAB (Company Registry). For some sectors such as education, logistics, medicine and food industries, a special pre-approved license is needed. It is
important that you know the wording of a company name should conform to the registered capital and business activities. The words "international" or "investment" or "industrial" within a company name suggest that the registered capital should be more than RMB 10 million, while a "group'' or "holding" should be more than RMB 30 and 50 million respectively (The detailed information depends on the local stipulation). Your company name should be distinguished from the other registered names. If the word “China” is within the company name, it is required to be pre-approved by ICAB at national level in Beijing.
