Huanggang, with a population of 6 million. Amazing how a city that most of us haven't heard of in the middle of China has a population close to London's.
There are well over 100 cities in China with a population greater than one million (size of Birmingham). Loads more with a population greater then 500,000 (size of Athens or Lisbon)
I don't see why we need to use a German word. There must be a perfectly good English one. We didn't fight two world wars so we can go around speaking German.

I went to China and the guide referred to her home as a town. I asked the population she said about 2 million, I said that’s a city, she said no, the nearest city was about 40 mins away for her ‘home town’ and that had 6 million pop.

It's nuts innit.
But in this case the city is small (366,769). It's the county which surrounds it which has 6m people.

Why is it that hefty disease tends to break out in China? The other day they had a few cases of plague! I have heard hygiene in China is so so

It’s basically a Vorort (as the Germans would say) of Wuhan.

Or a conurbation, as we would say.

They’re slightly different things - a Vorort is part of a conurbation. slough is a Vorort of London, and a part of the London conurbation.

the fact that Wuhan has 11 million people and so far only 500 of them have checked in with coronavirus is in itself reassuring tbh

City sizing all wrong.
Either size by administrative boundary OR by travel-to-work area but don’t mix them.
London is 6 or 7 million by admin boundary but London TTWA is 18 million.
