Chinese capital cities with fastest growth in the first
three quarters mostly come from the country's central and western areas,
with Guiyang's rate of 9.8 percent topping the list, according to data
compiled by 21st Century Business Herald.
Next to the capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, Kunming,
Southwest China's Yunnan province, and Taiyuan, North China's Shanxi
province, both posted 9.1 percent of growth in the same period, and
Xining of Northwest China's Qinghai province came in at 9 percent.
Nanchang, Fuzhou, Hefei, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu and Nanjing
all saw their growth above 8 percent from January to September, though
analysis from some capital cities' bureau of statistics showed an
increase in economic down pressure, with rising number of enterprises
shutting down, slow consumption growth in some sectors and sharp
increase of cost.
The full list of top 10 capital cities with fastest growth in the first three quarters is as follows:
No 10 Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province
