Compare Chengdu, Sichuan and Zhengzhou, Henan. Chengdu and Zhengzhou are both inland cities. First of all, transportation is not convenient, and water transportation is the most important. Let’s first look at the innate conditions of the provinces where the two places are located:\x0d\In terms of economic strength: Henan ranks fifth in the country, and Sichuan ranks ninth. \x0d\On history and culture: Between the Central Plains and Shu, it is self-evident who is stronger and who is weaker. \x0d\In terms of population: 100 million in Henan and 80 million in Sichuan\x0d\In terms of transportation: Zhengzhou is the intersection of two major railway arteries, the Beijing-Guangzhou Line and the Longhai Line, and is a transportation center; but Chengdu is a dead spot on the plateau. \x0d\?\x0d\Compared with Henan, Sichuan has almost no advantages at all. \x0d\ What is surprising is that when Chengdu and Zhengzhou are compared separately, Chengdu is far better than Zhengzhou. Chengdu is known as the top ten largest cities in China and even calls itself the "Fourth City" in China, while Zhengzhou, I'm afraid I have to say hello whether I can get into the top fifteen. \x0d\ Are Chengdu people smart and hard-working, and can turn disadvantages into advantages? \x0d\The answer is no. \x0d\\x0d\The key to the problem lies in the way provincial resources are tilted. \x0d\In 2007, Sichuan Province's GDP was 1.05053 billion yuan, of which Chengdu's was 332.4 billion yuan, accounting for 31.6% of the province's total. \x0d\The GDP of Henan Province is 15058.07 yuan, of which Zhengzhou's is 200.15 billion yuan, accounting for only 13.3% of the province's total.\x0d\\x0d\It turns out that in Sichuan Province, all resources are concentrated in Chengdu, resulting in Chengdu becoming the dominant city. situation. \x0d\In Henan Province, there is balanced development across the province. \x0d\So, Mianyang (67.35 billion yuan), the second largest city in Sichuan Province, ranks behind Shangqiu (76 billion yuan) in Henan Province, and is about the same as Zhumadian (67 billion yuan), which ranks 11th. \x0d\If Zhengzhou accounts for 31.6% of the province like Chengdu, it will be possible to enter the top seven in the country (Chengdu only ranks 12th)\x0d\Zhengzhou allows the balanced development of secondary cities and allows Henan Province to quietly enter the top five in the country. \x0d\Chengdu desperately squeezed the second-tier cities, causing Sichuan to fall from the first place in the country to the ninth place today (even if Chongqing, which has developed rapidly after direct jurisdiction, is included in the sixth place.)\x0d\\x0d\Chengdu Model VS Zhengzhou model, which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance!
