Hangzhou and Chengdu, two sub-provincial cities, are closely following Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. These two cities have been actively deploying in emerging industries in recent years, and implementing a number of policies to attract talent..

Ding Changfa, an associate professor of economics at Xiamen University, shared his insights with YICAI. In recent years, the rise of new first-tier cities, including Hangzhou and Chengdu, can defuse and assume some of the functions of first-tier cities, and can play a regional leading role, driving more regional coordinated development.
