Core Viewpoint - The race for cities in China to reach a population of ten million is evolving into a "war of attrition," with increasing challenges and a need for cities to enhance their internal development capabilities [3][6]. Group 1: Population Growth Data - As of the end of 2024, Wenzhou's permanent population reached 985.2 thousand, an increase of 91 thousand from the previous year, just 148 thousand short of the ten million mark [4]. - Hefei officially became the 18th city in China to surpass ten million residents, with a population of 10,002 thousand, growing by 149 thousand from the end of 2023, totaling a cumulative increase of 537 thousand over three years [10]. - Six cities, including Wenzhou, Ningbo, Foshan, Nanjing, Jinan, and Shenyang, have populations exceeding 920 thousand and are still experiencing growth, indicating their potential to reach ten million [5]. Group 2: Challenges in Population Growth - The current pace of population growth suggests that by 2025, it may be difficult to see the emergence of the 19th city with a population of ten million [6]. - Many cities with populations around nine million are experiencing a downward trend in population, indicating a significant increase in the threshold for reaching ten million [7]. - The competition among cities is intensifying, with three of the six cities striving for ten million being ordinary prefecture-level cities, which struggle to compete with the public service resources of municipalities and sub-provincial cities [14]. Group 3: Factors Influencing Population Attraction - Urban population attraction is influenced by multiple factors, including housing subsidies, entrepreneurial support, living costs, public service quality, industrial capacity, and employment opportunities [8]. - Hefei's population growth is attributed to its industrial upgrades, which create job opportunities and higher salary levels, supported by a strong talent base from institutions like the University of Science and Technology of China [10][12]. Group 4: Strategies for Population Growth - Cities aiming for ten million populations should focus on industrial upgrades, as demonstrated by Hefei's industrial output growth of 14.8% in 2024, with significant increases in sectors like new energy vehicles and smart equipment [18][19]. - Optimizing living costs and residency policies is crucial, with cities like Shenyang implementing new policies to facilitate the settlement of newcomers [21]. - Improving infrastructure and enhancing livability are essential, as cities are working to address public service gaps, such as education, to attract and retain residents [22].
