Mayor of Pudong New Area and Director of Shanghai Tourism Bureau

The mayor of Pudong New Area and the director of the Tourism Bureau are both hall-level, but the mayor of Pudong is only one step away from the secretary of the district party committee. The secretary of Pudong New Area is generally a member of the Standing Committee of Shanghai Municipal Committee. If he can be the secretary of Pudong New Area, he will be either a member of the Standing Committee of Shanghai Municipal Committee, a deputy mayor, at worst, an assistant mayor, or a deputy hall (provincial) level.

The tourism bureau has relatively limited rights and little promotion opportunities. Compared with the mayor of Pudong New Area, I personally think it is a big difference, especially for those who are relatively young and have certain leadership skills.
