No. 1 Beijing 北京 Divorce Rate 39%
No. 2 Shanghai上海 Divorce Rate: 38%
China's largest economic center; a social city where every material desire can be fulfilled -- which has a divorce rate of 38%.
No. 3 Shenzhen 深圳 Divorce Rate: 36.25%
The divorce for the Shenzhen SEZ may in fact be higher (according to the article’s author) – these statistics only include citizens with permanent urban residence certificates (hukou). Given that Shenzhen’s “non-local” population includes more than 8 million people the actual divorce rate may be different.
