A GA from 2020 surprisingly enough. Still, there is a lot of uncited material that needs to be addressed. There was some even during it's passing which I don't why that was let go. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:52, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

• Keep I don't see the substantial amounts of uncited material mentioned above; I have trimmed the lead, deleting fat that was added since GAN, and I think that the article is of very good quality for one of its importance. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:48, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

The content in this section do not seem to be very credible. The content is clearly riddled with emotion, I was so shocked to see this on a wikipedia page for Shanghai.

E.g.: "Pacific Digital in Xujiahui is a local snake in Xujiahui, Shanghai . It has been selling fakes to cheat consumers for many years. Because it has the Xujiahui Police Station of the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau as an umbrella, consumers have no way to defend their rights after being frauded and may even be beaten by mall staff."
