Fifteen Chinese cities were named as new first-tier cities in 2024, news portal yicai.com reported on Thursday.

The evaluation was based on five primary criteria: concentration degree of commercial resources, urban transport capacity, vitality of urban population, new economic competitiveness and future potential, it also has 16 secondary criteria, and 61 third-level criteria, to assess the overall attractiveness of 337 cities at prefecture-level or above.

The 15 new first-tier cities in 2024 in terms of their degree of attractiveness are: Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Suzhou, Wuhan, Xi'an, Nanjing, Changsha, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Dongguan, Wuxi, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Hefei.

According to the report, the competition between new first-tier and second-tier cities remains stiff this year. Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province jumped up 6 places to number 12 among the new first-tier cities, making it back on the list of new first-tier cities.

The attraction of cities has fundamentally changed. For Gen Z - those born between the mid-1990s and the early 2010s - profit is no longer the only indicator that makes them choose a city for development, the report showed.

More than 900 valuable relics have been recovered from two wrecks in the South China Sea, providing physical evidence for China's history-based claim to ownership over this area of international waters.

"The discovery provides evidence that Chinese ancestors developed, utilized and traveled to and from the South China Sea, with the two shipwrecks serving as important witnesses to trade and cultural exchanges along the ancient Maritime Silk Road," said Guan Qiang, deputy head of the NCHA, in a statement Thursday. "This deep-sea archaeological investigation, integrating China's deep-sea science and technology, and underwater archaeology, marks the country's achievement of a world-class level in deep-sea archaeology."
