Chinese cities bigger than Los Angeles

My favorite way to give a sense of the size difference between the US and China is to ask this question: the biggest city in California is the second biggest in the US, with a population of just under 4M people (2012 estimate);  How many cities in China are bigger than Los Angeles?

18	Dalian	Liaoning	3,902,467

Bonus question: how many of the above cities – all of which are bigger than LA -- have you ever even heard of?

Incidentally, India (the world’s second-largest country) has only 10 cities bigger than LA.
