Shanghai people are more careful and have a sense of superiority in big cities. They usually look down upon foreigners slightly. This is not a big problem, it is just the personality of the soil and water.

As an outsider, Shanghainese should be divided into three levels: local people, Asians, and Europeans and Americans. You can first make friends with non-local people, which will increase your local connections. In recent years, non-locals and even foreigners have established their own circles, which is also an aspect of interpersonal relationships in New Shanghai. When dealing with local people in Shanghai, you should pay attention to the depth of communication, keep a certain distance, praise the other party more, and give the other party more face.

If you want to go deep into Shanghai's high-level society, you need someone to guide you.
