Introduction and History: 

The Shanghai of the 1930s was largely ruled by extraterritorial rights of Colonial powers, namely Britain, USA, and France. Chinese had jurisdiction only in their parts of Shanghai. After Japanese troupes conquered eastern parts of the city in the fall of 1937, the other powers avoided granting them rights that would have legitimized the Japanese status. That contributed to a legal limbo during which none of the powers controlled visas of arriving immigrants – making Shanghai the only large visa-free port for several years.
