Which provinces in China are the richest? and the poorest?

I've heard that the Zhejiang province is the richest, but i thought it would've been maybe the Guangdong, Jiangsu, or Shandong provinces.

The poorest i've heard is the Anhui province....

I can see why Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Jiangsu may be the wealthiest provinces but Shandong?

I don't know about being the poorest, but Gansu is pretty poor.

richest:zhejiang

poorest:Guizhou

we are talking about the provinces,right?

To be corrected: Taiwan province is the richest province.

The poorest is Tibet, Xizang autonomous region.
The richest province is Zhejiang province.

The poorest is Tibet, Xizang autonomous region.
The richest province is Zhejiang province.

I think this statement is a bit misleading. Xizang has the lowest GDP but has also the smallest population of all provinces. The per capita figures are not that bad, though still poor im comparison to the rich coastal provinces.

I think Gansu, Shaanxi and Guizhou are the poorest provinces in China.

The richest region of China per capita right now is Hongkong/Xianggang and Macao/Aomen. Third would be Taiwan.

Aomen is higher than Taiwan?

How is Xinjiang? I've been to Urumqi and Turpan. Urumqi was a bustling metropolis on a similar level as Beijing and Turpan was a small town, a little poorer I assume.

As much as I know, Xinjiang is doing quite well due to the oil fields, but there are also poverty ridden areas in the country side.

Aomen's (Macao) per capita income has risen dramatically in the last couple of years, second only to Hongkong/Xianggang.

look this, the incomes per capita of each mainland province in first half of 2004.

http://forum.xinhuanet.com/transfile?id=0092CFCF.002C

surprise 1, Xizang(Tibet) is in top10, not bad, not bad
surprise 2, Heilongjiang in at bottom 4, man NE China looks really bad. :(

per capita in mainland, Zhejiang is richest and Ningxia is poorest.

The reason why Tibet's position in the ranking that high is because the government puts loads of money into their pockets without asking them to do anything.

Comparison between US states and China provinces I've made, incomplete due to lack of data, find the gap and catch up. Taiwan, Hongkong and Macao r listed but not in the ranking.

What's the point of comparing China to probably the wealthiest nation in the world?

i don't the gross gdp numbers really tell about anything, especially when trying to compare the wealthy to the emerging-middle-class china. it's better if we compare gdp per capita for each province/state. now that's more accurate.

thanks for the info snake. it's also quite suprising that hebei and henan are poorer than hubei and hunan, even though the first two are in the plains and the last two are more in the mountains. and why is anhui so low? it's so close to the more prosperous jiangsu and shanghai.

Yeee, Northwest still is the poorest.

Hola!

I live in Zhejiang. It has Hangzhou in the north, Wenzhou in the south, Ningbo as a seaport and is adjacent to Shanghai.

But I have seen some bad poverty here, so sometimes it is hard for me to believe that Zhejiang is the richest. Hate to see the poorest. Zhejiang being rich really tells me how damn poor China is.

Sigh, my poor ppl. Even in the coastal areas the ppl r darn poor and they still from time to time show off.

Uhm, of course there are going to be poor people in Zhejiang. China isn't even a developed nation yet. Even in the U.S., there are many poor people in the "wealthy" states.

It will be glad if someone could post me the GDP Per Capita of China's Province instead of the Total GDP in $US dollar :)

Instead of comparing China with USA try to put some statistics which compares GDP of cities in India and China!

^^

yeah, but we need your data

Why need to compare ?

Time will change everything!

Time will change everything!

For example?

absolutely, China will catch up with US as time goes. :cheers:

Richest province is Guangdong. 3 out of the top 5 chinese cities are in Guangdong, including Hongkong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Guangzhou and Shenzhen are two cities that have the highest GDP per capital in Chinese mainland.

Zhejiang is no.1 in terms of GDP per capital, but it doesn't have any big cities.

Sorry but Shandong has surpassed Jiangsu in terms of total GDP long ago.

You can find relatively up-to-date GDP stats for the provinces on Wikipedia though. It seems the data was compiled from the National Bureau of Statistics of China (http://www.stats.gov.cn/english/) thus, the data should be reliable.

I would take GDP per capita figures for some provinces and especially for some cities with a grain of salt. The numbers are likely to be inflated due to the huge number of unaccounted migrant workers residing there.

Two examples…

Guangdong has an official population of ~95 million people, yet, there are probably an additional 20 million migrant workers living here who contribute heavily to the GDP.

In Shenzhen reside only 2 million hukou holders and the local government recognizes another 6.5 million long-term residents. However, most experts believe that there are at least 12 million residents within official city limits.

-> http://english.sz.gov.cn/gi/200708/t20070824_229880.htm
(If you recalculate the GDP per capita numbers from this page you will note that they are based on 8.5 million residents)

That being said, I have no doubts that Guandong is among the wealthiest provinces in China but I am sceptical towards claims that Shenzhen, Guangzhou or Dongguan are wealthier than Shanghai, Beijing or Hangzhou. My impression is that the later three cities have a much higher share of white collar workers while they have a lower share of unaccounted migrant workers.

For example…

Shanghai has 13.5 million hukou holders and the government accounts for another 4 million long-term residents. Of course, Shanghai’s real population is also larger than that but the official numbers are much closer to reality than in Shenzhen. And, what is even more important, a much larger share of the population enjoys the hukou benefits!

I was surprised at how low these figures were until I saw that these were from a very long time ago. Its cool how this year, Shanghai municipality's total GDP is greater than Guangdong's was back then.

I look forward to the day when shandong's GDP surpasses Guangdong.

I read in Wikipedia, Shandong has more population than Guangdong. Hence Shandong will have a bigger workforce and bigger economy. Qingdao is located in the province and provides a strong economic base along the coast.

Shanghai has always been very entrepreneurial. It is now the policy of the government to make it the New York of Asia. It has a large urban and country population and floating migrant population. Pudong is the designated Special Economic Zone in Shanghai. This will grow in the future.

Guangdong has a floating population of 30 million people. Shenzhen and Guangzhou is way the action is and where the job growth is happening.
Shenzhen is the biggest special economic zone out of the 3 in the state which includes Shantou and Zhuhai. Also the proximity of Hong Kong and Macao will drive up the economic integration and people exchange. It will in time maybe surpass Shanghai in terms of economic output and density.

Fujian province is also doing quite well with Xiamen as the economic powerhouse and its rarely mentioned. It is also one of the earlist special economic zones. Fuzhou the provincial capital plays a important political and eocnomic centre in case if Taiwan ever allows direct transport links. Fujian stands to gain increase economic trade, ports opening up, direct flights between Taiwan and proper Fujian. Xiamen has a leg up in terms of very deep international financial and economic links.

Zhejiang is rich because of its location, its very strong economic port of Ningbo. Ningbo is a sub provincial city with its own economic affairs under local management. It has a very well established port that feeds into the Chinese hinterland neighboring Hangzhou, Shanghai and external trade with Japan. Special Economic Zones were designed to allow designated cities the power to maange their economic affairs and increase economic activity.

The info in wiki is already outdated.

Guangdong just surpassed Taiwan in terms of GDP this year so it becomes the richest and strongest province in great China area.

Actually Guangdong province's economic is 3 times bigger than Shanghai and almost equals to Shanghai+Beijing+Zhejiang 3 provinces. If Hongkong and Macao also included, then Guangdong = Beijing + Tianjin + Shanghai + Chongqing + Zhejiang 5 provinces

Senor

Each city or province has its poorer population, there are countless beggers in Parisian streets and subways; you will probably see more homeless people in some sorry districts, sleeping in the street corners, and I call that darn poor as well.

and, If China's people start to live like the yankees, which is not mission impossible, I mean each person has a car to drive around, soon the oil price will be like rocket high and everyone in the world will feel the change.

You should better just respect Chinese people's hardworking, not just sit back in front yer computer screen and mock the poverty of these people. That's what I call lame.

Well, we can see the provincal GDP figure in 2007 was more than double in that of 2002.
Boosted by curreny appreciation and high nomial growth, like Guangdong's GDP in 2002 was 141 billion USD now has reach almost 400 billion USD in just five years. nearly 25% growth rate measured by USD,so did other regions in China.
