replies: text: Bósè is the local name and also the older form which you will find in older dictionaries (Cihai); Bǎisè is the modern standard which you will find in newer dictionaries (Xiandai Hanyu cidian). --72.75.56.66 (talk) 23:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This is about a "prefecture-level city",  which is a large subprovincial unit of Guangxi.
Without getting into pointless attempts to correlate chinese administrative terminology with English-language concepts ( which vary themselves between the various English-language countries ),  there are a lot of questions which the reader may have,  which are not really addressed by the current text at all.
Is there an actual large town or city ( in the plain English meaning of the word ),  which is the "capital",  in the general sense,  of this sub-provincial reason ?  Is it also called "Baise",  or something else ?   Is that what the "urban district" mentioned in the story is ?   Do the locals, or indeed people in other places, actually call it that ?    If so,  how many people live there ?   What town is the Baise Railway station located in ( or very near to ) ?    Where are buses with the big sign on the front "Baise", actually going ?
This is a problem for many of the articles about Chinese cities,  which are also the headquarters of large sub-provincial units which include large tracts of rural land and countless villages well beyond the urban area of the "city".  It is also a problem in other countries - for example, contrast "the city of London",  and "Greater London".  However, those concepts are well explained in the relevant places -  for these chinese "cities" which cover thousands of square kilometres of rural land and forests,  they are not.
