| You think ] qualifies as a global city, higher than Sydney...c'mon!!?? I agree with ], however. I think they should replace Zurich with Shanghai.

I hope you understand now why Shanghai shouldn't go any higher/lower than Sydney, but maybe Zurich!!! | |||

Where is Shanghai, Western Bias.
Shanghai isn't on this list, yet places like Sydney/Zurich are? This doens'nt make sense at all. Shanghai has over 20 million people. It is one of the top three finincial cneters in Asia and is the busiest port in the world. Also it is one of the fashion and cultural capitals of Asia. Not to mention one of the worlds most impresive skylines (has twice as many skycrapers of New York) and IS LISTED ON ANOTHER[REDACTED] PAGE A WORLD CITY. Either add Shanghai or remove most of these other western citys. There is definitely some unjustified bias here. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RiseOfTheRev01ution (talk • contribs) 14 August 2006.

I hope you understand now why Shanghai shouldn't go any higher/lower than Sydney, but maybe Zurich!!!
