Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as Washington or D.C. or locally simply as the District, is the capital city and federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and it shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its other sides. The city was named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, and the federal district is named after Columbia, the female personification of the nation. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in the U.S., with over 20 million annual visitors as of 2016.

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district located along the Potomac River near the country's East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district. There have been efforts to make the city into a state since the 1880s, a movement that has gained momentum in recent years, and a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021.

Deyang, also known as Jingcheng, is a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province. Located in the northeast of Chengdu Plain; located in the transition zone from Longmen Mountains to Sichuan Basin; the northwest has a mountain vertical climate and the southeast has a humid monsoon climate in the middle subtropics. The city has a total area of 5910 square kilometers, under the jurisdiction of 2 districts, 1 county, escrow 3 county-level cities; the registered population is 3.877 million in 2018. Adjacent to Chengdu, the provincial capital, Deyang is located at the intersection and overlap of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, making every effort to create a new city in the north of Chengdu's international metropolis. Deyang has well-developed transportation, 50 kilometers away from Shuangliu International Airport and 24 kilometers away from Qingbai River, the largest railway container center in Asia. Deyang is a major technology and equipment manufacturing base in China because of the "third-line construction" national layout of modern large industry. 2017 1
