Regarding the development of major counties and cities in my country, many people will refer to the list of the top 100 counties, which is also an understandable way.

It should be pointed out that the current list of the top 100 counties is not officially announced, and it will have more or less commercial nature. For a long time, the list of the top 100 counties in China has been mainly occupied by two major provinces, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

. In the list of the top 100 counties produced by various institutions, China's four strong counties are basically won by Kunshan , Jianyin , Zhangjiagang, and Changshu .

Considering that these four counties and cities all come from southern Jiangsu, many scholars also call it the Four Little Tigers in southern Jiangsu.

But recently, an official data released has re-established China's four strong counties.

According to the "2020 China Census Sub-Counties Information" compiled by the Office of the Leading Group for the Seventh National Population Census Leading Group, cities have been divided into multiple levels based on the number of permanent residents in urban areas.

Here we have to mention the importance of the data on permanent population in the urban area. The previous list of top 100 counties mainly referenced indicators such as GDP, financial deposits, fiscal revenue, etc., and then comprehensively sorted the major counties and cities based on their weights.

Of course, this is a very reasonable classification method, mainly referring to the economic strength of various places, and is basically the same as the comprehensive strength.

Observation can be found that whether it is a county or city or other high-level cities, my country's official classification of cities mainly focuses on the permanent population in urban areas.

During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the state officially issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Standards for the Division of Urban Scale", which clearly introduced the permanent population of urban areas as the only indicator to measure urban standards.

In terms of the total population size, ordinary prefecture-level cities such as Linyi , Nanyang , Fuyang , Ganzhou and other Ganzhou have extremely strong advantages. However, the introduction of the permanent population of urban areas is gradually weakening.

In recent years, with the implementation of the strategy of strengthening provincial capital, the permanent population of prefecture-level cities and counties and cities have faced great challenges.

According to the permanent urban population data of the seventh national census, China's four strong counties have been re-identified, namely Kunshan (1.4143 million people), Yiwu (1.1842 million people), Cixi (1.0619 million people), and Jinjiang (1.0125 million people).

It should be pointed out that the permanent population of urban areas in these four strong counties has exceeded one million and has been included in the echelon of China's major cities. Data shows that Kunshan is still ranked first, Jinjiang is strongly shortlisted, and Yiwu leads Cixi.

In fact, China's four strong counties are also counties and cities with extremely outstanding GDP in my country. According to the latest communiqué data, Kunshan, Yiwu, Cixi and Jinjiang all ranked among the top ten counties and cities in my country. Among them, Kunshan's total GDP ranks first.

During the same period, the permanent population of Ruian's urban area has reached 970,000, and will also be among the big cities in the short term. Observation also shows that using the permanent urban population as a measure indicator, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have become the weather vane for my country's county economy.

To some extent, all core indicators are homogeneous.

The improvement of economic strength will inevitably slowly attract population inflow. The continuous inflow of population will inevitably lead to social and economic improvement. Over time, the correlation between population and economy will become stronger and stronger.

In the list of other top 100 counties, Jiangyin can be said to be the second thousand-year-old, but the permanent population in the urban area is only 830,000.

In addition, the permanent population of urban areas such as Changshu, Zhangjiagang, and Taicang in southern Jiangsu are lower than those of counties and cities in Zhejiang such as Yueqing and Ruian.

In fact, in this list, we can make everyone feel the balance and prosperity of the development of Zhejiang Province. So what do you think about the re-confirmation of China’s four strong counties?
