Shanghai is Pudong. What do you mean Pudong is Shanghai?

Shanghai is Pudong. Pudong is the symbol of Shanghai. After the revolution, China is moving towards reform and opening up.

According to the background of that time, Shenzhen was a play. There was no Shenzhen at that time. Therefore, we can only settle for the second best. When we talk about Shanghai, we just say that Shanghai can only represent economic status, not reform and opening up. Therefore, we must put forward Pudong, Pudong is Shanghai, and Shanghai is Pudong. In this way, the audience will understand that you are speaking metaphorically, not actually referring to Shanghai at that time.

Shanghai represents Shanghai in the Republic of China and symbolizes capitalism. Pudong is a new Shanghai area that emerged only after the reform and opening-up, which symbolizes Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
