On May 10th, the first Jiangsu City Football League kicked off. This provincial-level competition, nicknamed "Su Chao" by netizens, has become increasingly popular due to popular memes such as "competition first, friendship 14th". The sustained popularity of "Su Chao" in the national public opinion arena not only refreshes people's impression of local football matches, but also further reveals that benign competition and interaction between regions are the key to activating the potential for economic and social development. Loose Jiangsu "" Thirteen Taibao "... For a long time, whether in internet jokes or word-of-mouth among locals, there have been" jokes "about Jiangsu. The economic strength of various cities in Jiangsu is balanced and strong. Taking 2024 data as an example, there are five cities in Jiangsu with a total economic output of over one trillion yuan, including Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, Nantong, and Changzhou. This has nurtured the competitive gene of 'no one is willing to accept anyone' for the 'reasonable' development of various regions in Jiangsu. On the football field, this competition extends into dramatic cultural symbols. For example, the "War of Destiny" between Suzhou and Nanjing, the "Battle between Chu and Han" between Xuzhou and Suqian, the "Battle for Control of the Taihu Lake Lake" between Suzhou and Wuxi, and the "Morning Tea CP" between Yangzhou and Zhenjiang turned the competition and "rivalry" between cities into a "regional script killing" with strong dissemination value. Slogans such as' No match fixing, it's all a 'world feud' ', and self deprecating humor elevate the competition between different cities, making a national sports and cultural feast approachable, humorous, and lovely. Seemingly full of gunpowder, behind the surface of confrontation, unity and cooperation are actually the underlying colors. This is also a true portrayal of the benign interaction of economic and social development within the provinces of Jiangsu and the Yangtze River Delta. Taking Jiangsu as an example, according to the intersection news report, a cultural and creative enterprise in Suzhou has formed a development layout of "Suzhou R&D and design, northern Jiangsu production and manufacturing". This layout not only reduces production costs, but also drives the development of industries in northern Jiangsu, providing replicable experience for the linkage of industries between the north and south of Jiangsu. The discussion in the economic community about "confrontational solidarity" seems to partly explain why the "Su Chao" was so popular: competition and cooperation between regions are powerful driving forces for China's economic development. For Jiangsu, competition and cooperation between different cities are also important factors in achieving this economic powerhouse. 'Adversarial unity' also means that competition between different cities in Jiangsu does exist, but it has already shifted from simple data competition to building a differentiated development ecosystem, thus forming a higher dimensional win-win competition. For example, Suzhou and Wuxi both have a large industrial scale in the field of integrated circuits, but the two cities have their own emphasis on design and manufacturing; Suzhou and Nanjing both have layouts in the field of artificial intelligence, but there are differences in algorithm research and industrial scenario applications. Su Chao's stunning appearance showcases a sportsmanship attempt on how to make competition more constructive. 'Su Chao' is a reflection of healthy competition between different cities, and at the same time, we have reason to believe that the popularity of 'Su Chao' will inspire more people to further leverage regional economic synergy and foster a sense of unity and win-win outcomes.
