As of August 2010

Shanghai has a population of over 20 million. Approximately 17 million permanent residents and more than 3 million temporary residents. Beijing is the second most populous city in China.

Wikipedia lists the most populous cities according to the definition of a city being an urban locality without its suburbs:

1. Tokyo, Japan - 32,450,000

2. Seóul, South Korea - 20,550,000

3. Mexico City, Mexico - 20,450,000
