Air: True, major improvements over the 5 years I lived there. 
Civility: True, never had any issues with uncivilized behavior in Shanghai.

Automation: I saw the start of this with Covid. First we had paper credentials to go shopping, etc. Then it was all converted to apps. You had to download an app for each city we traveled to in the summer of 2020 and it was how you accessed museums, etc, to make sure your Covid tests were negative.

What I would like to know is how are the expat businesses? 

Every expat I knew during our time living there has left. There was a segment of Shanghai business that catered to expats and it was decimated by covid travel restrictions. I wonder if it has recovered yet.
