Navigating company registration in Shanghai can be a maze, even without the WFOE route. You'll likely be looking at a domestic company registration, possibly a Limited Liability Company (LLC). The specifics – the exact paperwork, required permits, and the process itself – are going to depend heavily on your specific business activities and product categories. I'd strongly advise seeking professional legal and accounting counsel in Shanghai; they'll know the current regulations and can guide you through the process much more effectively than any online resource. The upfront cost might seem daunting, but the potential pitfalls of navigating this alone far outweigh that expense.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
