China works by ranking systems, rather than a more realistic appraisal of circumstances. The student who learned to copy answers but doesn't have a clue how to think critically is considered a genius. The city that just made it into tier 2 stands to make a bundle in tax revenues, but the city that just didn't make it will suffer.
