This is not a small difficulty. At least in Asia, I think Tokyo's throne will last for about 20 years. Perhaps many people think that the development speed of Tokyo is not as fast as that of Shanghai, and Hong Kong has entered a period of saturation. Actually, it is not. Tokyo is a huge metropolitan area and a city where many Japanese yearn for work and settlement. Therefore, even if Japan's population is aging and decreasing, Tokyo's population will only increase rather than decrease. Just like sucking up the resources of the whole country of Japan, there are many strong economic cities around Shanghai, and Shanghai has also slowed down its growth in recent years. At present, Tokyo's gdp is still about twice that of Shanghai, so it is unlikely that Shanghai will surpass Tokyo economically in a short time.

As we all know, there are four recognized international metropolises in the world, namely new york, London, Tokyo and Paris. Among them, Tokyo and new york have the highest economic aggregates, both reaching a gdp of about $654.38 billion. The city with the highest economic aggregate in China is Shanghai, which has developed rapidly in recent years. The total GDP has already surpassed that of Hong Kong, and it is backed by the Yangtze River. It can be said that the future potential is not small, and there were many before. According to the growth rate of Shanghai, can it surpass Tokyo and rank new york as a world-class metropolis in the future? I think it is possible, but it is very small.

The reason why many people have this idea now is that Shanghai's gdp has grown rapidly in recent years, but we must know that Shanghai's area is not very large. It can be seen from these two years that the economic growth rate has also slowed down and will not continue to develop at such a high speed. In Tokyo, although the economic growth rate is relatively slow in recent years, the total economic output of Tokyo is about twice that of Shanghai, so the base of Tokyo is also large. It only needs to grow a little every year to catch up with the increase in Shanghai, so the economy is different.

Let's compare the comprehensive strength. I think the advantage of Shanghai is even smaller. First of all, although Tokyo is not the nominal capital of Japan, it has concentrated the best resources and enterprises in Japan. So many people think that Tokyo has sucked half of Japan's economy like a vampire, while Osaka and Nagoya are far behind Tokyo. Although Shanghai is the largest city in China, Beijing is not inferior to or even superior to Shanghai in many aspects, such as education. Medical strength, another Shenzhen is also eager to try, so the importance of Shanghai to China is actually less important than that of Tokyo to Japan. Even though Japan's population is decreasing, Tokyo still attracts many domestic and foreign talents to settle down.
