The use of raw political power to damage the economic strength of a place that is perceived as a threat to the political leader's continuing hold on power.
Quick! Put up images of the leader. He needs to believe that we support and honor him. We don't want our city Shanghaied.

When you are standing in line for a ride at Shanghai Disneyland and it is so packed and crowded that someone accidentally sticks a finger right in your butthole.
Peter was excited to go the crowded party until he got a Shanghai Mine Train in the hallway and didn’t know who did it.

When you are having sex with a girl and she wants you to hit the gspot and her clit. So you have your penis inside her at an elevated angle to hit the clit reportedly. Then you take your thumb and reach around her and stick your thumb in her ass.
Man 1: why is natasha blowing up your phone all the time?
Man 2: I gave her the Shanghai surprise last week and she's hooked.

Shanghai High School International Division=SHSID=Study Here, Sleep Is Deprived
One of the most prestigious schools in Shanghai.
Positives: The school is ginormous, the facilities are top-notch (ice rink, anyone?), and you can choose from up to 20 sports for PE. The IB program is one of the best in China, with 10% of students getting a full score of 45. Similarly, the school pumps out Ivy League acceptances. The fact that it is more Chinese than other international schools means there's not a lot of problems with bullying and underage drinking/smoking/vaping compared to other schools.
Negatives: The school is extremely Chinese for an international school, with 90% of the population being Asian. They are also very conservative, and prefer downplaying scandals before actually addressing the problem at the roots. The students here are very stressed bc teachers don't understand that students cannot do 3 hours of math homework every night. And it's funny how little the school teaches vs how hard the tests are. Without a tutor, you're screwed.
Oh yeah, forgot the GPA deflation. And how all the previously mentioned Ivy Acceptances are often hoarded by 1 person, though the school wouldn't tell you that.
But despite all these downsides, the students have an odd pride of being there. All in all, despite all the complaining the students does about their own school (and all the fantasizing they do about SAS), they ARE proud to be there.

John: "Which school are you in?"
Adam: "SHSID (Shanghai High School International Division), why?"
John: "Damn, you're such a nerd!"
Adam with a 3.4 GPA: "Yeah, thanks, I guess..."
