Greater BJ is just about 20 million.

Greater BJ + nearby parts of Hubei?

Beijing is a province in itself with a lot of countryside and satellite cities (chanping, miyun, etc...). It would be weird to include nearby surrounding hebei.

Perhaps they meant Beijing and Tianjin combined + Langfang and Zhangjiakou? That could be around 40 million. Jingjinji (Tiānjīn, Beijing, Hebei) is around 130 million, but that includes all of hebei.

Ah, I missed that. Ya, Hubei would have been a huge stretch, though you might be able to attach that to chongqing.
