Except Omaha is not even half a million.
- greeneggs 10y agoChinese cities often include the entire metropolitan area, and then some. For example, Chongqing has 30 million people, in 31,800 square miles. Omaha-Council Bluffs has 915,000 people, in 4400 square miles.
- josu 10y agoThat's just journalist doing a bad job. There is Chongqing the municipality (equivalent to a US state) and there is Chongqing the city. According to the source used on the wikipedia page the city's population is 18M.
