I've been curious. Do they count all the parts of the city as one, where as we segregate. I think the US metros have cities just as big, but it is broken down differently.

Honestly the count on their population isn’t accurate at all. Like they say Beijing has 21 million people when it is much higher than that. I’d estimate it to be at least 30 million. Asian cities are just so much larger than American and European cities that it’s hard to grasp. Like Beijing is the size of all of DFW and unlike DFW it’s almost entirely an urban scape. It can take you four hours to get from one side of the city to the other.
