> The city, which is roughly the same economic size as Singapore and Hong Kong

What does that mean? The population of Shenzhen is 12.5m, Hong Kong 7.4m, and Singapore 5.6m. Geographic areas are also in similar proportion.

Beats seems like a pretty stupid thing to say even for a headline. Exceeds per capita in some way would be much more impressive. Additionally, what part of this growth is directly from China state subsidies? And besides this, how is the difference in terrain not discussed? Both of the others are surrounded mostly by water so growth is notably harder in those competing cases.
