Why is Guangzhou&;s position as the third city still stable? In recent years, with the strong rise of Shenzhen, Tianjin and Chongqing, Hangzhou, which held the G20, has begun to call Hangzhou to replace Guangzhou as a first-tier city and become &”;going north to Shenzhen&”;. For a time, Guangzhou seems to be about to be squeezed out of the ranks of first-tier cities. But in my opinion, not to mention Hangzhou, even Shenzhen still lost to Guangzhou in some aspects. In many ways, Guangzhou&;s position as the third city is still stable. A city that can be called the third city of a country is a comprehensive consideration of a city&;s comprehensive strength, which is by no means covered by a GDP. It is definitely a city with the total data in all aspects in the forefront of the country, outstanding per capita data and the third comprehensive strength. What many people in China call &”;Guangzhou being surpassed&”; is one-sided, and it is more based on GDP or that Guangzhou is about to be surpassed. Guangzhou is a national leader in many aspects. The third city should be a national central city first, and its real strength is very prominent. Although it lost to Shenzhen in some aspects, it surpassed Shenzhen in more aspects. On the whole, Guangzhou is generally second only to Beijing and Shanghai. Guangzhou is generally the number one in South China. No matter how you look at it, most of Guangzhou&;s total data are among the top in the country, and they basically surpass Tianjin and Chongqing. Guangzhou&;s position as the third city is still stable. Even though Shenzhen is more powerful than Guangzhou in many aspects, Shenzhen still has a long way to go to become the third city. It is not comparable to Tianjin and Chongqing. Do you have any objection to this view?
