Recently, relevant data show that in 2022, the first degree of provincial capitals in 27 provinces in China will generally show a downward trend, which has aroused people's attention and discussion about the imbalance in China's economic development.
It is reported that the primacy of the provincial capital refers to the proportion of the total GDP of the provincial capital city to the total GDP of the province, which can reflect the status and influence of the provincial capital city in the province's economy.
The primacy of provincial capitals in economically strong provinces and large provinces is generally low, such as Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province, indicating that the provinces with a high degree of provincial capitals have a weak economic development.
This shows that there are large differences in the degree of economic development in different provinces.
From the first place Changchun City, the second place Yinchuan City, the first place in the provincial capital, more than 50%, become the most economically developed areas in the province, it can be seen that in some areas, the economic development is relatively concentrated and strong.
However, from Xining in third place to Haikou in ninth place, a total of seven provincial capitals have a ranking of more than 30%, reflecting the uneven economic development of some provinces.
In addition, the first degree of provincial capitals of Hohhot, Nanjing and Jinan is less than 15%, but Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu and Shandong are relatively economically developed provinces, indicating that the first degree is not completely correlated with the overall economic development of the provinces.
To sum up, the decline in the primacy of provincial capitals reveals the imbalance in China's economic development.
* and relevant departments need to further strengthen the research and policy formulation of regional economic development, promote the balanced development of the regional economy, and achieve the common prosperity of the national economy.
This is also a matter of vital interest to everyone, and we hope that the relevant departments will pay more attention to and solve this issue.
