Cultural economist Dr. Liang Wei notes: "Shanghai has become the creative capital of the Chinese century, not by replacing its neighbors but by elevating the entire region's cultural ecosystem. The result is a networked cultural economy that rivals London or New York in diversity and output."
As Shanghai approaches its 2035 vision as a global cultural capital, its influence continues radiating across the Yangtze Delta, proving that in the knowledge economy, cultural soft power may be the most valuable currency of all.
