TJ is the hottest ticket in China, like it or not. (I don’t, but my vote doesn’t count.)
SY is getting a lot of support, too. Kind of like remaking Pittsburgh. Good luck: It’s money that will be wasted.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see QD on the list, but this seems much more like a fantasy than reality.
All the others are fairly obvious. Missing: HZ, XA, WH, DQ, XM, CS. That’s if we’re talking about growth rates than than raw cash per se. (And even in raw cash, four of the six listed above would be contenders for the top ten list.)
