The China Law Blog pointed this out to me.

Mastercard has come out with its list of the key cities "driving growth in emerging markets worldwide." Of the 65 cities that made the list, 15 are in China...

1 Shanghai
2 Beijing
6 Guangzhou
10 Shenzhen
16 Xiamen
17 Chengdu
18 Dalian
20 Tianjin
20 Nanjing
22 Hangzhou
23 Wuhan
24 Chongqing
25 Qingdao
26 Xian
27 Harbin

As you can see, four of the top 10 cities on the list were in China. Also in the top ten: Kuala Lumpur (fourth) and Bangkok (ninth).
