Is Qingdao more developed than Shanghai?

Qingdao is not as developed as Shanghai. According to relevant data, Shanghai is one of the largest economic centers in China, with a solid foundation for economic development and an industrial structure dominated by finance, trade, shipping, high technology and other industries. Shanghai has strong competitiveness and influence in the fields of finance, service, logistics and information technology, and is one of the places where all kinds of enterprises at home and abroad are concentrated. Shanghai has obvious advantages in service industry and high-tech industry. Shanghai has long been the center of finance, trade, shipping, high technology and other industries, which are the most competitive and challenging fields in the international market. Qingdao's industrial structure is mainly concentrated in manufacturing and marine industries. Although there are also powerful enterprises in these industries, their competitiveness is slightly insufficient compared with that in Shanghai. Compared with Shanghai, Qingdao still has a big gap in development process, industrial structure and human resources.
