Although many people don't want to admit it and keep their mouths shut, it is obvious that Chengdu and Chongqing are completely incomparable. First, the only center in the west is Chongqing. Chengdu is the largest satellite city in Chongqing. I mean the center, the real center. Chengdu's influence can only spread to the south of western Sichuan. A few people in Shaanxi and Gansu in Xinjiang like to go to Chengdu, and most of them are migrant workers. Therefore, there are many fewer high-net-worth people in Chengdu than in Chongqing. And Chongqing? People from Guizhou, Yunnan, eastern Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, and even those who return to second-tier cities from cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen, Chongqing is the first choice for China-Europe trains and Chongqing to start a new land and sea passage, which is changing the development status of inland cities in China that have been open to the outside world. Chongqing is not only the center of the west, but also the center of inland cities, leading the development of inland cities. Speaking of the market, let's talk about the national level. Chongqing has long been regarded as a central city in the west and an important central city in China, and only Guangzhou has a corresponding urban positioning. Like Xi, Chengdu is one of the important central cities in the western region. In other words, whether it is a market or a country, Chengdu is called a sub-center at best and a satellite city at worst. 2. The headquarters of most large enterprises in the west and the representative of Huaxi, the world authoritative organization, are all authoritative and important institutions in Chongqing. Whether it is Tencent Alibaba Baidu, the World Bank, AIIB, Goldman Sachs, the United Nations, etc., as long as the evaluation in this institution designs the mainland, the representative of Huaxi will only be Chongqing. The official website of AIIB has made it clear that Chongqing is the center of western China. I think that no matter how stubborn some people are, they can't change this fact, can they? 3. Actually utilizing foreign capital, it is not wrong to choose foreign direct investment capital. The actual utilization of foreign capital in Chongqing is similar to that in Sichuan, not to mention Chengdu. Foreign direct investment is only $200 million less than that of Sichuan. What is this concept? As the financial center of the west, Chongqing is incomparable to Chengdu in opening up. In contrast, Chengdu is like a backward and closed city. Neither qdlp nor cross-border RMB investment and financing can be done in Chengdu, while people in the central and western regions can do it in Chongqing without going to the coast. Cross-border RMB settlement, Chongqing ranks first among the provincial administrative regions in the central and western regions, not to mention Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan. Chongqing ranks first in the central and western regions in terms of the number of foreign banks, full financial licenses, the number of first factor exchanges and the first inland bank, not to mention the third financial court in China (going north to Chongqing) that will be unveiled at Xinhua Road in Yuzhong District, Chongqing. From now on, it can be said that all financial cases in Chengdu are supervised and managed by Chongqing People's Congress. 5. Chengdu with the same population of 2 1 10,000 is obviously weaker than Chongqing metropolitan area with the same population of 2 1 10,000 in terms of total retail sales of social consumer goods, export and investment, contiguous built-up areas, urban population, GDP and per capita GDP, added value of financial industry, top 500 private enterprises, actually utilized foreign capital and foreign direct investment. Whether it is the total passenger traffic of central cities (including rail transit, aviation and other small feeder lines) or the amount of investment attraction ... Chengdu is not as good as Chongqing Metropolitan Area 6: China has three major gateways and will soon become four including Chongqing. What is a gateway city? A gateway city is a central city for regional access and internal and external communication. It is a comprehensive transportation hub with a high level of economic development. Then in the western region, such a city is only Chongqing. Whether it is to build a China-Europe train, lead the development of inland cities, or build a new land and sea channel that will become the future artery of China's western economy, whether it is the actual use of foreign capital, foreign exchange for tourism, or foreign direct investment, Chongqing is located in the west, and even ranks first in the central and western regions. Whether it is the only international comprehensive land hub, the land, sea and air transportation in the west or the only international logistics hub in the west, it is Chongqing. There are three cities in the western international gateway hub, namely Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi 'an, Chengdu and Xi 'an. Most importantly, Chongqing is Beijing+Shanghai in the west, Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing are backup cities in different places, and Chengdu's backup cities in different places are Shenyang and Xiamen. I don't need to say too much. Many Chengdu people will refute what consulates, dual airports and war zones are. Then I would like to ask, Shenzhen has no consulate, dual airports and war zones, so Shenzhen can't compare with Chengdu? There are no consulates in Hangzhou and Nanjing, so their level of opening to the outside world is not as good as that of Chongqing or Chengdu. There is no war zone in Shanghai, so Nanjing is better than Shanghai? In fact, these indicators such as infrastructure construction and the degree of striving for regularization are not important at all. For example, zy originally wanted to cancel the Chengdu Military Region and merge into the Lanzhou Military Region. Zy didn't think twice until people from Chengdu Military Region applied for cancellation many times. This kind of repeated application has not only existed in Chengdu before, but also in the consulate now. So, what can this represent? Moreover, Chengdu promotes bu and likes to buy lists to belittle other cities. If it's really powerful, is it necessary to do so? Summary: The only center in the West, whether in the market or at the national level, has been Chongqing since modern times, and from the list, a large number of naval forces have created public opinion. The center of the west is Chengdu, but I want to say something even worse. Chongqing people naturally think that Chengdu is a county town and never want to compare with Chengdu. Because Chongqing people look at Chengdu just like Zunyi. What is the contrast? Only Chengdu people pull Chongqing every day. If the actual data can't be compared, we will say that Chengdu ranks higher than you. If some small branches can't compare, we will say that Chengdu has never compared with you. You can't compare with it …
