why chinese gouvernment chose chongqing as the 4th municipality directly under central gouvernment?that's because chongqing is china's 4th city.

tiger actually what quoted by Christian is right.
Chongqing isn't the no.4 city in china mainland, in southestern china,Chongqing cant be more likely to compare with Chengdu now no matter the importance in economy, politics and military affairs.
as for its status of the 4th municipality, the media has given us the full reason that it was due largely to the great development of western regions.
Thanks
