Shanghai has the best business environment in China — 1-day registration, highest density of international talent, and most mature foreign investment services. Ideal for fintech, foreign enterprise services, and cross-border e-commerce OPCs. However, monthly operating costs of ¥12,000-18,000 make it unsuitable for early-stage bootstrapping — if you need internationalization but are budget-constrained, Chengdu or Hangzhou's international parks are compromise options.
