Recently, with the convening of two sessions in various places, major cities have also continuously announced their 2020 GDP, and the ranking of urban GDP has become more and more clear. The number of trillion-dollar cities in my country has reached 23, with 6 new cities added last year. This is definitely an unprecedented leap forward. Among these 23 trillion-dollar cities, most of them are major provincial capitals, and the four major municipalities directly under the Central Government are all on the list, and some strong prefecture-level cities on the eastern coast are also among them.

As early as the beginning of the year, everyone was paying attention to which cities would squeeze into the trillion-dollar club this year. At that time, there were a total of seven cities with a GDP of more than 900 billion yuan, namely Quanzhou, Fujian, with 994.666 billion yuan, Dongguan, Guangdong, with 948.25 billion yuan, Jinan, Shandong, 940.94 billion yuan, Hefei, Anhui, with 939.998 billion yuan, Xi'an, Shaanxi, with 939.23 billion yuan, Fuzhou, Fujian, and Nantong, Jiangsu, with 938.339 billion yuan. These seven cities are only one step away from being worth one trillion yuan, and Nantong, which is the most distant, is only more than 60 billion yuan.

The situation was originally very good, but we encountered well-known global difficulties last year. Fortunately, all parts of our country worked together to overcome the difficulties. Although the growth rate slowed down, compared with other countries in the world, we also delivered an absolutely outstanding report card.

Now that the results have been announced, all cities are happy and one is worried. Needless to say, Quanzhou, Fujian, which is only a few billion yuan away, has six cities of Jinan, Hefei, Xi'an, Fuzhou and Nantong joined hands to enter the trillion-dollar club. It can be said that everyone is happy. Only Dongguan, which was originally ranked before Jinan, Hefei, Xi'an, Fuzhou and Nantong, failed to pass the test, which was quite surprising.

Why is this happening? Let's make a simple analysis. Among these seven cities, Jinan, Hefei, Xi'an and Fuzhou are all provinces, concentrating the resources of a province. Jinan and Qingdao have won Shandong's support to create a national central city, which shows that Shandong has also begun to strengthen the development of provincial capital cities; Xi'an is one of the central cities for the Western Development and the Belt and Road Initiative, and has received a large number of preferential policies in recent years; The situation in Fuzhou and Jinan is similar. Its status in the province was originally a bit awkward, but in recent years, it has also begun to strengthen the provincial capital effect; Hefei has been densely populated with listed companies in recent years, and a large number of scientific and technological innovation companies have emerged. It can be said that it has been the fastest growing city in my country in the past ten years. One of the cities, it is natural for them to break through one trillion yuan.

Quanzhou was originally only a few billion yuan away from one trillion yuan. Coupled with its strong industry, it can be said to be a strong private economy in China. A large number of famous brands such as Anta, Jordan, Xtep, Hongxing Erke, Jinba, Qipai, Lilang, Attenborough, etc. have emerged; Nantong is the northern gate of Shanghai. It is one of the birthplaces of my country's national industry, especially light industry. Nantong can become Jiangsu's fourth trillion-dollar city after Suzhou, Nanjing and Wuxi. It relies more on shipbuilding, textiles, and traditional industries with solid foundations such as construction.

Dongguan is more regrettable. In fact, Dongguan is a really great city. It is sandwiched between Guangzhou and Shenzhen. It has neither the policy advantages of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, Guangzhou's regional institutions and central enterprise headquarters, nor the merger of several powerful districts and counties like Foshan. They have relied on their courage to create world factories. The total import and export volume has ranked among the top in the country all year round. Although last year's yi situation was influential, it was not as big as Guangzhou. Many friends who opened factories in Dongguan were busy almost from March to the end of the year. Unexpectedly, they became the only city that failed to squeeze into the trillion-dollar club. I was really surprised.

Some people say that the increase in these cities has reached an astonishing more than 60 billion yuan, which is higher than Shanghai's increase. It is unbelievable. Some people say that four cities have just reached one trillion yuan, and there is obviously a digital game. But overall, it is worth celebrating to see so many cities break through one trillion yuan at a time. Everyone is making progress, moving hand in hand in competition, and developing together through comparison. How great! What do you think?
