Liao J is the license plate number of Fuxin City. The license plate codes of Liaoning Province range from Liao A to Liao P. The composition of a license plate number is as follows: 1. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character: representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the (province, municipality directly under the central government, autonomous region). 2. The second character of the license plate is an English letter: representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the letter code of the (prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, league). 3. Additionally, when arranging the English letter codes for prefecture-level administrative regions, I and O are skipped, and O is often used for police cars or government units.
The license plate 'Liao J' is the exclusive code for Fuxin, Liaoning. When I helped a friend check used car information before, I came across this type of license plate and wondered what 'J' stood for. After researching, I learned it's the code for Fuxin, while other cities in Liaoning have their own corresponding letters, such as Shenyang using 'Liao A' and Dalian using 'Liao B'. A little-known fact is that the vehicle management office assigns letter sequences based on city size, and Fuxin, as an important city in western Liaoning, was assigned the 'J' prefix. Nowadays, when you see large trucks or private cars with 'Liao J' license plates on the road, they are mostly registered in Fuxin. However, it's important to note that license plates cannot be the sole criterion for determining the owner's origin.
