Most populous Chinese city (8)

I believe the answer is:

shanghai

(Other definitions for shanghai that I've seen before include "[YANGTZE] 's mouth here?" , "Large Chinese city" , "once used to drug sailors, possibly" , "force on board ship" , "Darts player might be pleased with this" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
