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.

Taishan City, formerly known as Xinning, was established in 1992 as a county-level city in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, located in the southwest of the Pearl River Delta, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao and the South China Sea, adjacent to Xinhui, Kaiping, Enping and Yangjiang respectively. It has the reputation of "the first hometown of overseas Chinese", "two Taishan inside and outside", "the hometown of volleyball", "the hometown of Guangdong Music", "the hometown of Chinese Quyi" and "the hometown of elegant Art". Taishan covers an area of 3286 square kilometers. It now has jurisdiction over two experimental areas, 20 towns and an overseas Chinese farm, which is divided into 503 village committees and 3655 natural villages. At the end of 2016, the city's total registered public security population was 970500, including 395200 in urban areas and 575300 in rural areas. In November 2018, it was identified as the leader by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
