In the past, when cities wanted to see how they stacked up against their neighbors, the first items for discussion always included numbers on new business startups and results on luring in multinational corporations, as well as figures on imports, exports, and residents 'incomes.
過去各城市相較，招商績效、跨國公司進駐數字、進出口與市民收入等，總是最先被提出來討論的項目。
