'' The verb "shanghai" joined the lexicon with "crimping" and "sailor thieves" in the 1850s, possibly because Shanghai was a common destination of the ships with abducted crews.[1][17] The term has since expanded to mean "kidnapped" or "induced to do something by means of fraud."[18] '' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghaiing And in China, I understand the Han lord over the other ethnicities. -- -v
