Many netizens said that it is unfair to use the total GDP to measure the comprehensive strength of a region. But in fact, if one must use an indicator to reflect the level of strength, then the total GDP is indeed the most authoritative.
Among the various current economic messages, the total GDP is undoubtedly the most prominent. Relevant information shows that GDP, also known as gross domestic product , not only reflects the economic status of a region, but also reflects the strength and wealth of the region.
It should be pointed out that GDP is flow rather than stock. In addition, GDP also includes many non-entity services, such as trade, technology, education, finance, etc.
According to my country's common calculation method, the total GDP is the total output of each department minus the intermediate consumption of each department, and is divided into three industries according to , and the added value of each industry is calculated separately.
Relatively speaking, in the field of prefecture-level cities in my country, GDP is a set of indicators worthy of study. Why do you think so? Because the level of prefecture-level cities is very ordinary, the development of the region is basically driven by its own hard work.
At present, the development of prefecture-level cities mainly relies on the contribution of industrial manufacturing. On the contrary, higher-level provincial capitals and municipalities can make breakthroughs in the tertiary service industries such as finance, technology, and transportation. At present, even Suzhou with outstanding economic strength is difficult to make achievements in the tertiary industry .
In the first half of 2022, China's top ten GDP prefecture-level cities are Suzhou, Wuxi, Foshan, Nantong, Quanzhou, Dongguan, Yantai, Changzhou, Tangshan and Wenzhou .
Observation shows that the top ten prefecture-level cities with GDP have obvious regional differences. In the first half of the year, no prefecture-level city in the central and western regions was ranked among the top ten.
Suzhou exceeded one trillion in half a year, and Wuxi ranked second.
According to the latest information from the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of the year, Suzhou's total GDP was 1.09624 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%. Among them, the added value of Suzhou's primary industry was 6.47 billion yuan, the added value of the secondary industry was 507.34 billion yuan, and the added value of the tertiary industry was 582.43 billion yuan.
What are the advantages of Suzhou in the field of prefecture-level cities? data shows that Suzhou ranks among the top three prefecture-level cities in my country based solely on the added value created by the tertiary industry.
Nationwide, there are only five cities with higher GDP than Suzhou, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing and Guangzhou. It can be seen that Suzhou's economic scale is very strong. During the same period, Wuxi's total GDP ranked second among prefecture-level cities.
Nantong ranks fourth, and China’s top prefecture-level cities are mainly concentrated in Jiangsu.
As we all know, Jiangsu’s strong counties are quite outstanding. In the field of prefecture-level cities, Jiangsu also has outstanding results. In the first half of 2022, Nantong’s GDP ranked fourth. So far, three of the four prefecture-level cities with the highest GDP in China are from Jiangsu.
It should be pointed out that from the specific data, except for Suzhou and Wuxi whose GDP is relatively stable, there is the possibility of adjustment in other major prefecture-level cities.
Changzhou ranked eighth, and Tangshan and Wenzhou were shortlisted.
In addition to Suzhou, Wuxi and Nantong, Changzhou has also ranked among the top ten GDP of prefecture-level cities in my country. In the first half of 2022, Changzhou’s total GDP was 426.46 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%.
During the same period, Tangshan and Wenzhou were also shortlisted for the top ten prefecture-level cities. In the first half of the year, among China's top ten prefecture-level cities, only Wenzhou's GDP was below 400 billion. Some people also believe that the biggest change in the top ten prefecture-level cities in China lies in Wenzhou's ranking.
During the same period, the GDP gap between Xuzhou and Wenzhou was less than 3 billion. So what do you think about this ranking of the top ten prefecture-level cities?
