Talk:Qingdao

message: In the history section of the article, I think that there might be a factual inaccuracy:
The city reverted to Chinese rule in 1922, under control of the Kuomintang (the ROC). Renamed Qingdao in 1930, the city became a special administrative zone of the ROC Government. Japan re-occupied Qingdao in 1938 with its plans of territorial expansion onto China's coast. After World War II the KMT allowed Qingdao to serve as the headquarters of the Western Pacific Fleet of the US Navy. On 2nd June, 1949, the CCP-led Red Army entered Qingdao and the city and province have been under PRC control since that time.
I don't think that the city was renamed to Qingdao as early as 1930; Qingdao is Hanyu Pinyin, and I believe that there are no other romanization of Chinese place name make use of the alphabet "Q" apart from Hanyu Pinyin. Any comments? --Joshua Chiew 15:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Based on :Image:ROC Administrative and Claims.jpg and the Chinese Wikipedia, Qingdao was a direct-controlled municipality under the ROC government. I will make changes in the article to reflect this. --Joshua Chiew 16:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Assessment 

message: As I understand the Japanese version of the page, Qingdao was originally a fishing village called Jiāo'ào 膠澳.
Also, the sentence
"The area in which Qingdao is located today was named Jiao'ao (胶澳) when it was administered by the Qing Dynasty on 14 June 1891."
is odd. It sounds like the Qing Dynasty controlled the city for only one day. Wakablogger2 (talk) 09:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names 

message: In 2008, Qingdao was named China's 7th-most livable city.[2] However, as China only has seven cities, this news was not greeted with enthusiasm by the local tourist board.[citation needed]
This is very amusing, but I'll be a bore and question "as China only has seven cities". I think most statistics put the number in excess of 600. Perhaps only 7 cities qualified in the competition but as I don't read Chinese, the reference [2] is no help there - perhaps someone who does could help with the citation needed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.113.141 (talk) 14:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Since 2019, Qingdao already has seven districts and three county-level cities, rather than six districts and four county-level cities.
In addition, in 2019, it was called "new first-tire city" in China.
Also, another name (Daocheng 岛城) of Qingdao was missed in the original article.
