Sub-provincial city in the prefecture-level administrative divisions are on the market.
  2 sub-provincial cities and large cities are different.
  Up to now, the State Council has approved four times for 19 cities as "big city", that is the first time in October 1984 approved by the Tangshan, Datong, Baotou, Dalian, Anshan, Fushun, Jilin, Qiqihar, Qingdao, Wuxi, Huainan, Luoyang, Chongqing, a total of 13 cities; the second time in March 1988 approved Ningbo; the third time in July 1992 approved Zibo, Handan City, Benxi; approved in 1993, the fourth city of Suzhou, Xuzhou City.
  It is understood, declared "a large city," the general procedure: to be declared by the municipal government to the provincial government to consult; the consent of the provincial government transferred to the State Council; then sent by the State Council department in charge of the city to declare site visits.
  Capital cities, special economic zones, national cities with independent planning (sub-provincial cities) without State Department approval, automatically become a larger city.
  3 Provincial Committee and served as party secretary of the non-sub-provincial cities and sub-provincial city of distinction.
  This is often misleading in the fact that some non-capital cities and provincial capitals of prefecture-level city is the provincial party secretary, deputy secretary of the Standing Committee and even the province will assume that the city is sub-provincial city. In fact, this is not right.
  Capital city is a province of the political, economic, cultural, scientific and educational center in provinces status is very important, so the party secretary are generally by the Provincial Standing Committee, or Provincial Committee concurrently, which are Ganbu high with the situation, such as the original part-time Minister of Foreign Affairs Government Administration Council and Prime Minister Zhou Enlai, Vice Premier Qian Qichen later serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs you can not say the administrative level is higher than the other ministries the same. Moreover, the municipal party organizations are not part of the executive agencies. Party Secretary of the party in addition to the high level of half a grade, other municipal government staff and the general level of prefecture-level cities are the same.
  A more important position provinces non-capital prefecture-level city, which often also by the provincial party secretary or the Provincial Standing Committee, deputy secretary of part-time, such as Suzhou, Jiangsu, Jiangxi Ganzhou, which also belong to the high cadres with the situation.
