Abstract: Since the famous « open door » of the year 1978, China's economic performance has been remarkable. Nevertheless, today a new endogenous turn appears and some questions arise. Can China's growth rate still continue as the same pace? Should China discontinue the historical model based on low labor costs and rather shift towards creativity? Is it the right road towards both a new line of attack to uphold the quantitative growth and to improve the quality of life of citizens? The aim of our paper is to show that the passage of the famous « made in china » to a « created in China » leads to a growing awareness of the importance of creativity as a vector of progress and economic growth. We define the fundamental characteristics of Shanghai as a creative city, trying to show if Shanghai is based on a form of dual track. We precise the idiosyncrasy of Chinese culture in order to demonstrate that it might be a natural advantage for creativity. We explore the potentiality for a nudge policy.
