The top 10 are Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Macao, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Suzhou, Tianjin and Ningbo.

Besides, the report also publishes a list of 47 most competitive cities in 12 sub-indexes, among which Beijing took the first place in talent competitive power and sci-tech innovative capability, as well as the second place in its competitive capital, facilities and location respectively.

Beijing has a concentration of the country's largest multitude and most outstanding talents and research institutes. It also boasts the highest index of capital in financial institutions, but its capital quality remains to be improved. Beijing leads the country in sci-tech strength and innovative capability and has strong basic research ability, but its ability to apply, develop and transform scientific research results into production remains to be strengthened.
