rumor - Shanghai will annex Ningbo, Wuxi

I have been running around visiting incubators along with a Dutch academic delegations - reason for the light blogging - since all those high tech buildings did not yet have a wireless internet connection I could use. But I did pick up an interesting story I should share: Shanghai is going to expand its borders greatly by the end of this year and will include neighboring cities like Ningbo and Wuxi.
My source is well connected, but has set me up with false rumors in the past. It would make Shanghai into the largest cities of China (beating Chongqing) and perhaps even the world. With the port of Ningbo connected, it will be the largest port in the world very soon too. It would defy the need of building its own deepsea port, but that is another story.
