A port of East China. Put aboard a ship by force (8)

I believe the answer is:

shanghai

(Other definitions for shanghai that I've seen before include "Press men at one time" , "Press into service" , "many Chinese folk?" , "Kidnap in Chinese city-port?" , "Kidnap - Chinese port" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
