Suzhou can only be regarded as a second-tier city.

There is still a big difference between city size and city form. ...

Beijing represents the image of a country, and the government has the greatest investment in construction, which means that ZF is willing to spend the most money on construction. Even with natural disasters such as sandstorms, this country has improved very well ... it requires a lot of money and only the country can afford it.

Suzhou's proximity to Shanghai promoted the development of Suzhou around 2000. Of course, it also has its own advantages, convenient transportation, developed land and water transportation lines, a long history and profound cultural heritage. After the reform and opening up, the government introduced a lot of foreign capital. For example, Suzhou Industrial Park is the product of the cooperation between Suzhou government and Singapore, and it is a very successful case all over the country. ...

To put it simply, Beijing is the capital, and Suzhou is close to Shanghai and belongs to the resource-rich south of the Yangtze River. This is the main reason for the difference between the two. Actually, there is no comparability. Suzhou is a small city with limited development. Beijing is not only the capital, but also a big city, with large state investment and large development space. ...

My opinion, hehe.
