Shanghai International Settlement (1842)
On the Chinese Revolution map as “The International Settlement”
Since 1842 — Shanghai’s core is governed by foreign councils, policed by Sikhs and White Russians, and exempt from Chinese law — one of some ninety treaty ports, alongside leased Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhouwan and Qingdao. “Extraterritoriality” is the word every Chinese nationalist of this atlas grows up hating.
