商务部再选 10 城：郑州落选！长沙武汉却进了国际化消费试点城市名单！

Core Viewpoint - Zhengzhou was not selected as an "International Consumption Center City" due to its weak international consumption capabilities, particularly in attracting international tourists and gathering international brands, compared to Wuhan and Changsha [10]. Group 1: Selection Criteria and Results - The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance announced the list of "International Consumption Environment Construction Pilot Cities," with five initial cities receiving 200 million yuan each and ten new pilot cities receiving 100 million yuan each [1]. - Zhengzhou, despite being a major city with a retail sales total of 588.5 billion yuan in 2024, was not selected due to its lack of international vision and attractiveness to foreign businesses [1][3]. Group 2: Comparative Analysis - In 2025, Zhengzhou's inbound tourist numbers were projected to be only one-third of Changsha's and significantly lower than Wuhan's, indicating a lack of international appeal [5][9]. - Zhengzhou has only 14 international friendly cities, while Wuhan has over 60, highlighting its limited international influence [5][9]. - The city has a low number of traditional Chinese brands, with only three compared to Changsha's ten and Wuhan's seven, indicating a deficiency in cultural consumption resources [5][9]. Group 3: Economic Indicators - Zhengzhou's per capita consumption expenditure in 2024 was approximately 31,400 yuan, nearly 10,000 yuan lower than Wuhan, reflecting a mismatch between consumption quality and international standards [6]. - The city has a limited number of international routes and lacks significant international policies, such as the 240-hour visa-free transit policy available in Changsha and Wuhan [5][9]. Group 4: Future Opportunities - Despite not being selected, Zhengzhou is part of the "New Consumption Formats, New Models, New Scenarios" pilot cities, which may provide national policy support to enhance its consumption innovation capabilities [3].
