Which People's Republic of China city is at a higher level of government, Dehui or Karamay?
Dehui Dehui () is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Changchun, the capital of Jilin province, People's Republic of China, located in the middle of the Songliao Plain. It has a total population of 906,000 and a rural population of 753,000. Composed of 10 towns, 4 townships and 4 subdistricts, under which there are 308 villages, it is around 80 km north-northeast of central Changchun. It borders Yushu to the northeast, Jiutai to the south, Kuancheng District to the southwest, Nong'an County to the west, as well as the prefecture-level cities of Jilin to the southeast and Songyuan to the northwest.
Sub-prefecture-level city A sub-prefecture-level municipality (, pinyin: fùdìjíshì), sub-prefecture-level city, or vice-prefecture-level municipality, is an unofficial designation for a type of administrative division of China. A sub-prefecture-level city is officially considered to be a county-level city, but it has more power "de facto" because the cadres assigned to its government are one half-level higher in rank than those of an "ordinary" county-level city—though still lower than those of a prefecture-level city.
