  1. Even though there are a lot of Chinese cities on the list, here are a few more that should perhaps be added:
    Jiaxing, Zhejiang (pop. 4.5 million)
    Shaoxing, Zhejiang (pop. 4.9 million)
    Huzhou, Zhejiang (pop. 2.6 million)
    Nantong, Jiangsu (pop. 2 million)
    Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, (pop. 1.2 million)
    Jinhua, Zhejiang (pop. 1.1 million)
    These may all be suburbs of Shanghai.
