This is certainly not the case now: at around 5 million people, Kaifeng is definitely a large city, but it's not the largest city by a long shot. New York and Mexico City are over half again as large, and Tokyo is more than two and a half times larger.

According to About.com, Kaifeng is believed to have been the world's largest city between 1013 and 1127. I personally have some doubts as to the precision of the data, but it was definitely a contender if not the largest city sometime in the 11th century. (The about.com list apparently includes the entire metropolitan area, not just the city proper, since the recent figures for Tokyo and New York are considerably higher than they should be were only the city itself included.)
