After five odd years of heated discussions and raging debates, it was determined that the SmartShanghai Forum did indeed address and solve all the world’s problems, and it was decided that its purpose as a bastion of free speech and intelligent discourse was no longer required. So we’re taking a break from it for a bit, waiting for the world to get completely awful once again, and then we’ll relaunch it and enable all the SmSh’ers to once again shed a little insight on pressings issues of the day, thereby setting things right again.

Please don’t take this as a sign to navigate away from the site or, heaven forbid, turn off your computer. Head on back to SmartShanghai.com and click freely on all our advertisers – wonderful people that they are and so deserving of your patronage.
