供大家讨论：
我原来也试着加了"that of"，可又觉得似乎没必要，感觉原句的扩展形式可以是：New York City has a larger population than any other city in the US has/does. 就像 He has more energy than I have/do. 网上也找到类似的例句，譬如: "Apple now has a bigger budget than the entire US government." Apple has bigger budget than US government - Business Strategy, Financial News, IT Business, Apple Incorporated - Channel Middle East
当然，网上的例句也可能是错的。 希望得益于大家的讨论。
