Is it true or false that the State Council approved Ruzhou to become a prefecture-level city?

That's not what I meant. Cities with separate plans and cities with separate plans mean that these two cities enjoy the economic management authority of prefecture-level cities, not the administrative level of prefecture-level cities. Refer to the regulations of cities with separate plans: cities with separate plans are one of the administrative regions of People's Republic of China (PRC), which appeared in the 1980s to allow some big cities to be included in the national Xiamen plan and enjoy provincial economic management authority, rather than provincial administrative level. At the beginning of the establishment of cities with separate plans, the administrative level was not clearly stated. The purpose of establishing cities with separate plans is to solve the problems of compartmentalization and urban-rural division, gradually explore an economic zone based on big cities, and develop the economy through proper separation of government from enterprises. 1February, 983, the State Council approved the pilot scheme of Chongqing's separate listing. Subsequently, Wuhan, Shenyang, Dalian, Harbin, Xi, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Ningbo, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Chengdu and Changchun successively implemented separate plans. Cities with separate plans have not fundamentally changed the administrative subordination of the same province, and they are still led by the province as a whole, serving, coordinating and supervising. The contents of separate plans mainly include industrial and agricultural production, transportation, post and telecommunications, investment in fixed assets, purchase and sale of major commodities, distribution and allocation of energy and major materials, foreign trade import and export, local fixed foreign exchange, labor wages, finance and credit, science and technology and various social development plan indicators. The revenue and expenditure of cities under separate state planning are directly linked to the central government, and the central finance and local finance are divided into two parts, which need not be turned over to provincial finance. The rank of an official who is the mayor of a city with separate plans is deputy provincial level (deputy ministerial level). At present, there are a large number of "prefecture-level cities hosting county-level cities" in China, mainly because after the implementation of the "city leading counties" system, with the implementation of a large number of counties in recent years, the phenomenon of "city governing the city" will inevitably appear. By the end of 2004, 308 county-level cities in China were "entrusted" by 155 prefecture-level cities, accounting for 82.35% of all county-level cities, and the prefecture-level cities entrusted with county-level cities accounted for 54.77% of all prefecture-level cities. If the city-leading counties can still be prevaricated by the Constitution as "large city-divided counties", then "city governing the city" is completely lacking in legal basis. It is precisely because of this that "escrow" is now adopted, that is, nominally county-level cities are directly under the jurisdiction of provinces (regions), and provinces and regions are handed over to prefecture-level cities for "escrow". However, there is almost no difference between the "escrow" of prefecture-level cities and the management of subordinate counties, and prefecture-level cities actually implement the real county-level city management.
