What is the significance of Shanghai entering the top three global financial centers?

Although Shanghai's financial index has made great progress in recent years, I don't think this ranking actually means anything. After all, Shanghai has had a higher record before, and there is no basis for Tokyo and Hong Kong to rank behind Shanghai. After all, Hong Kong's financial system is still very strong.

Moreover, the future development potential of Shanghai is also very promising, because Shanghai is behind the Yangtze River and the whole economic hinterland, facing the Pacific Ocean, so Shanghai is likely to become a world-class metropolis on a par with Tokyo, London and new york in the future. Of course, it takes enough time. After all, Tokyo and new york will not wait for us to develop on the spot. Shanghai may not lose the hardware of these international metropolises, but the software details of Shanghai, such as per capita GDP and national comprehensive quality, are as big as those of these developed countries.

Or put it another way, today's Shanghai is not rising, but returning to its original position, because during the Republic of China, Shanghai was stronger than Tokyo and Hong Kong, and even London had to avoid its edge. However, after several decades' delay, Hong Kong replaced Shanghai as the financial center of Asia, so Shanghai is now developing rapidly, and a free trade zone based on ports has been established to promote the currency circulation of various countries. Of course, in terms of financial system and building quality,
