Do you agree with "Tier 1 cities of China are more advanced than Tokyo or Seoul" take?
你同意“中国一线城市比东京或首尔更先进”这个说法吗?
The last time I visited a Tier 1 city was Beijing in late 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. So maybe I got a bit outdated in 5 years, because I was surprised by a comment from another redditor:
>I don’t know why you’re being downvoted Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and even not so large cities like xiamen etc. are **far more advanced than anywhere else in the world**. The only City I’d rate more developed than the large cities in China is Singapore, which is still definitely #1
Essentially, his take is that only Singapore is better than the Tier 1 cities of China, and even Tier 2 xiamen(???). Which means by his logic, Tokyo and Seoul are "less advanced" than the Tier 1 cities of China. I did some profile stalking and found that it was "western tankies" that I was arguing with.
But now I wonder what actual Chinese people think about how advanced their Tier-1 cities have become compared to the top cities of developed Asia? Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei. Maybe HK(?), but I have a weird perception of HK: it is a vibrant city to visit, but a weird taxation system through the municipal land sale hinders QoL.
我上一次去一线城市还是2019年底,就在新冠疫情爆发前。所以可能五年过去了,我的看法有点过时了,因为我被另一位Reddit网友的评论给惊到了:
“我不知道你为什么被踩。上海、北京、广州,甚至像厦门这样不那么大的城市都**比世界上任何其他地方要先进得多**。唯一我觉得比中国大城市更发达的只有新加坡,它绝对是第一名。”
基本上,他的观点是只有新加坡比中国一线城市更好,甚至厦门(???)这个二线城市都比别处强。按他的逻辑,这意味着东京和首尔比中国一线城市“落后”。我翻了翻他的资料,发现和我争论的是个“西方tankie”(西方国家的极左翼亲中人士)。
但现在我想知道,真正的中国人是怎么看待他们的一线城市与亚洲发达地区顶级城市(新加坡、首尔、东京、台北)相比的先进程度呢?或许还有香港(特区)(?)不过我对香港(特区)的看法有点奇怪:它是一个充满活力的旅游城市,但通过卖地形成的奇怪税收体系阻碍了生活质量。
