Shanghai is 买办 central, that's why.
Shanghai being the business center, with the highest and longest international exposure is naturally the most concentrated place of foreign agents, influences and foreign leaning population. Any city being in Shanghai's position would be the same. You get more flies and cockroaches if your house is more open to the outside world.
It's so much more than that. Don't forget the stereotypes of the entitled Shanghaier. A significant portion think that geography makes them better than the rest of the Chinese.
Is also incredible how Western Shitstream Media can take the protest of a few hundred idiots and made them the look like if a million people protesting in China. Of course there is a lot of discontent with the movement restrictions, but people are not idiots, the vast majority knows that if the virus get loose a lot of people are going to die, that could include their own family members.
Hmm the video and comments are based... Taiwanese are sick of Tsai using the country as a glorified brothel for visitors.
So many snowflakes in this forum and you guys laugh at Justin Trudeau. A few protests and all of a sudden it is the end of the world. What would you do in case of a January 6th or Indian Agricultural Protest equivalent, slit your wrists?
It is true but not unique to Shanghai (therefor don't be too upset). Shanghai in its short history has been the most economical and literal dynamical in modern China, in other words rich.
People being rich tend to glorify themselves. We have seen recent examples elsewhere in China where people from rich regions in the south try to re-interpret Chinese history as emerging from places other than the yellow river basin even though most of these revisionist's ancestors are from yellow river basin. Don't you remember one of our banned member from Singapore repeatedly claimed that mainland Chinese is less Chinese than Haka Chinese in SEA? That altitude isn't unique to him but to many people in China as well. It is human nature, 嫌贫爱富，虚荣，傲慢.
Also it is arrogant and stupid to think that Shanghai itself made it rich, whether due to its location or population. It was only because Qing dynasty made Shanghai an opening post. In other words, it was made rich by the central government.

One example is In Chengdu, "protesters" shout in Standard Mandarin, in the background locals cursed them with F words in local dialect.
