Why is Baoji High-tech Zone not a district?

Orientation and development focus. High-tech zones usually refer to areas that focus on developing high-tech industries and aim at promoting scientific and technological innovation and economic development. Compared with traditional administrative divisions, high-tech zones pay more attention to industrial development and scientific and technological innovation, so the name of high-tech zones is adopted and directly placed under the jurisdiction of prefecture-level cities or provincial administrative units, rather than as an independent administrative division.
