Chinese Sub-Prefectural Level City
A sub-prefecture-level city, or
vice-prefecture-level city, is an administrative division of China. A
sub-prefecture-level city is officially considered to be a county-level city,
but it has more power de facto because the cadres assigned to its government
are one half-level higher in rank than those of an "ordinary" county-level
city - though still lower than those of a prefecture-level city.
