Move aside, Washington D.C. Step away, Singapore. Beijing has you both beat. 华盛顿？新加坡？都靠边站吧，北京把你们都甩在后面了。 According to a new study, Beijing is now the world's eighth-most global city, breaking into the top 10 for the first time. 根据一项最新研究，在全球化程度最高城市的排名榜上，北京位居第八，这是该城市首次进入前10名。 The global cities index, published Monday, found that China's capital city is eclipsed only by New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Chicago, in that order. Its analysis is based on factors such as business activity, information exchanges and cultural experiences. The report, which covers 84 cities, also weighs political engagement, as defined by how influential a given city is in 'global policy dialogue,' and other factors such as presence of embassies, international organizations and number of political conferences annually hosted. 周一发布的全球城市指数显示，北京目前的全球化排名仅次于纽约、伦敦、巴黎、东京、香港、洛杉矶和芝加哥。该指数的分析是基于商业活动、信息交换和文化体验等因素做出的。这份研究报告涵盖了全球84个城市，排名还考虑到政治参与度这一因素，考察内容是一个城市在“全球政策对话”中的影响力有多大；其他考察因素还包括外国使馆数量、国际组织数量和每年召开的政治会议次数等。 |
