Not a like-for-like rank
The peer MSA GDP (~US$173.1B, 2023) is close to Changzhou's municipality GDP after indicative USD conversion (~US$160.1B).
Changzhou uses the official full prefecture-level municipal scope; Cleveland uses a U.S. MSA boundary. Years, legal status and territorial coverage differ, so GDP proximity is a scale reference only.
