As we all know, Jiangsu Province, located in the east of China, is a very developed province in China. Every city in Jiangsu Province has a long history, especially Nanjing, Suzhou and Yangzhou, which are important historical and cultural cities and tourist cities. The most economically developed city in Jiangsu Province is not the provincial capital Nanjing, but Suzhou, with a gdp of 20193 billion. Nanjing is about 1.4 trillion. Many people are curious. As the provincial capital, Nanjing should receive the highest treatment according to the policy. Why has it always surpassed Suzhou? In fact, Nanjing is not as good as Suzhou economically, because Suzhou itself is not an ordinary prefecture-level city.
Suzhou's current administrative level can be said to be the lowest. Historically, Suzhou was the birthplace of Wuyue culture. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Suzhou and Yangzhou became the most famous economic and commercial centers in China, equivalent to Shanghai now. It can be seen that Suzhou's status at that time was still very high. After the opening of Shanghai, the glory of Suzhou is gone forever. However, many foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises have been introduced in recent decades, so the living standards of Suzhou locals are also very high.
Although Nanjing was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and its per capita was not low, its population was seriously injured. Nanjing has a population of more than 8 million, not as much as Xuzhou, Suzhou 10.74 million. Although many people say that it is a foreign population and has created economic benefits for the local area, Jiangsu's comprehensive strength is still the first. Suzhou is much worse than Nanjing in terms of the prosperity of urban areas and the strength of science, education and medical care. After all, Nanjing is still the provincial capital.
