I think Shenzhen in Guangdong province was the first city in China to meet IMF's defintion of a "developed city" in 2006.

IMF's definition of a "developed city" is GDP per capita > $10K

I think some of these conversion rates need taking with a pinch of salt somehow.
Only a few years ago, the PPP of the RMB against the dollar was about 4:1 this was revised downwards sharply in about 06/07 to between 2 and 3, but to find figures of less than 2 is rather dubious.

The PPP will also vary throughout the country, being larger in undeveloped areas and less in the more advanced. You can use the national average for the whole country, but it is useless for a regional examination. Its a good illustration of the dangers of using wiki in all there glory!!
