Jiangsu is a very strange province, and its overall economic development level can definitely rank among the top three provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. However, there is a big gap between the north and the south, and the economic development level of southern Jiangsu exceeds that of northern Jiangsu by at least 10 years. In fact, the economic development in southern Jiangsu is attributed to Shanghai. For example, Suzhou, known as the back garden of Shanghai, is a typical beneficiary. Many enterprises themselves want to set up factories in Shanghai, but Shanghai's land and money eventually led to Suzhou setting up factories, and a large number of foreign-funded enterprises set up factories in Suzhou, which solved many labor problems and led to the rapid rise of the local economy, leading to Suzhou becoming the richest city in Jiangsu.
If any city in Jiangsu is closest to Shanghai, besides Suzhou, it should be Nantong. Nantong and Shanghai are only separated by a bridge, so Nantong is actually quite close to Shanghai. Nantong has great economic potential, and the future Nantong definitely has the potential to compete with Suzhou, Nanjing and Wuxi. However, it is not objective to say that Nantong's economic capacity has surpassed Changzhou. Nantong is still slightly inferior to Changzhou in GDP and economic development scale.
With the development of Suzhou's economy and the improvement of national environmental protection requirements, some energy-intensive enterprises in Suzhou will slowly move to Nantong. After all, if Nantong needs a place and manpower, it lacks an opportunity. Some enterprises in Shanghai or Suzhou will move to Nantong, which will directly promote the rapid economic development of Nantong. These are the advantages of Nantong's future economic development.
Suzhou, as the boss, is difficult to be surpassed in a short time; Nanjing is a provincial capital city, and as a political center, it also needs corresponding economic strength to match; The development of Wuxi started relatively early, and now the scale and speed of economic development are still very fast. In the future, Nantong and Changzhou will fight over who is the fourth child. This is an unknown number. Dear friends, do you think Changzhou is more likely or Nantong is more likely?
