1256^tharticle 第1256期双语推文

The renowned global think tank GaWC (Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network) has recently published "World Cities 2024", showing that Zhengzhou has risen 27 places since 2020 to rank 89^th in the world. It is classified as a Beta tier city, the second level.

全球知名智库GaWC(全球化与世界城市研究网络)已于近日发布《2024世界城市名册》，郑州较2020年排名提升27个位次，列全球第89位，在层级上，属于世界二线（Beta）城市。

In 2016, Zhengzhou made its inaugural appearance on the list as a High Sufficiency city. In 2018, it reappeared on the list but was upgraded to a Gamma+ city, the strong third-tier, ranking 153^rd worldwide. Upon its third inclusion in the list in 2020, Zhengzhou had been elevated to a second-tier city, ranking 116^th globally, a significant advancement of 37 places compared to 2018. In 2024, Zhengzhou re-entered the list, securing the 89^th position globally, a rise of 27 places compared to 2020 and an impressive leap of 64 places over 2018.

2016年，郑州首次入围该榜单，被列为世界High Sufficiency（高度自给自足）城市；2018年，郑州二次登榜，被列为世界强三线城市（Gamma+），排名全球第153位；2020年第三次入选时，郑州已经被列为世界二线城市，全球排名116位，比2018年前进了37个名次；2024年再度入围，全球排名第89位，相比2020年排名上升27位，相比2018年排名跃升64位。

How has Zhengzhou managed to achieve such a significant leap in the global city rankings?

全球城市排名跃升，郑州靠何突破?

The "Land Silk Road", primarily supported by the China-Europe Railway Express (Zhengzhou), is accelerating rapidly, with nearly 12,000 trains in operation to date. Over ten thousand types of cargo have been shipped, expanding its business network to over 140 cities in more than 40 countries.

The "Air Silk Road", primarily supported by the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg route, is increasingly expanding its broad reach. There are a total of 28 cargo airlines operating in Zhengzhou, with 55 cargo routes opened, connecting to 60 cities across 27 countries. This has constructed a hub route network that spans the three major economic regions of Europe, America, and Asia, covering the world's major economies. Since 2024, the cargo volume at Zhengzhou Airport has exceeded 600,000 tons, ranking sixth nationwide, and the international and regional cargo volume has exceeded 350,000 tons, ranking fifth nationwide.

The "Maritime Silk Road", primarily relying on multimodal transport, is becoming increasingly smooth and efficient.
