Fuzhou's administrative status is lower than Xiamen's is a fact that it is not earned. A leader of the Organization Department of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee said in a school lecture that Fuzhou was limited in the introduction of talents due to the small administrative structure (prefectural and departmental level). In fact, compared with the sub-provincial level, the cities listed separately in the plan, and the special zones, Xiamen's more practical rights and interests mainly come from the provincial economic management authority won in the early days, which makes it more able to stretch its fists and feet.

In recent years, the attention to the "strong provincial capital" mainly stems from the rapid development of Chengdu in Sichuan and Hefei in Anhui, and it can be felt that Fujian is also interested in moving closer to this direction. However, it should also be noted that the original level of development in Sichuan and Anhui Province is very limited, and relying on large provincial capitals to promote economic development and win more national attention may also be a "helpless move". Now many people laugh that Sichuan is Chengdu Province, and it is true that except for Chengdu, the gap between the rest of Sichuan and It is getting wider and wider. In contrast, the coastal developed provinces, each province has a "twin star" city, Zhejiang Hangzhou Ningbo, Guangdong Guangzhou Shenzhen, Jiangsu Nanjing Suzhou, Shandong Jinan Qingdao, etc., Fujian is the most balanced degree of development of the internal regions of the city, so Fujian should also be a "strong provincial capital" worth thinking.
