Where is Meishan City in Sichuan Province equivalent to Chongqing?

Compared with Chongqing or other areas, Meishan City in Sichuan Province is not suitable.

Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government and Meishan is also a city, but there are differences in administrative divisions between them. Chongqing belongs to the municipality directly under the central government of the provincial administrative region, and Meishan belongs to the prefecture-level city of the prefecture-level administrative region.

1. The municipality directly under the central government is an administrative division of China, which has the same administrative status as provinces, autonomous regions and special administrative regions. It is a provincial administrative region of People's Republic of China (PRC) and a municipality directly under the Central People's Government.

2. A prefecture-level city is an administrative division of China, which has the same administrative status as regions, autonomous prefectures and leagues. It is a prefecture-level administrative region, a city with the same organizational system as the region, and has provinces and autonomous regions under its jurisdiction.

Extended data:

Shanghai was previously under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, Tianjin was under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province, Chongqing was under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province, and Hong Kong was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province. They can be directly administered by the central government because their position in the province has surpassed that of the capital and their position in the whole country is very important.

Beijing can become a municipality directly under the central government mainly for historical reasons. Therefore, if you want to become a municipality directly under the central government, you must have a long history, superior economic culture and population strength, and a good geographical location.

Many cities seek to become municipalities directly under the central government in order to gain more autonomy and get rid of the heavy burden of development (backward areas), so the goal of "establishing municipalities directly under the central government is to quickly promote and stimulate the economic and social development of one side" is very clear.
