Population in China in 2017, by region
Population in China in 2017, by region (in million inhabitants)
This statistic shows the population in China in 2017, by region. In 2017, approximately 75.2 million people had lived in the Hebei province in China.
Population in China – additional information
China is the world’s most populous country, with an exceptional economic growth momentum. The country can be roughly divided into three regions: Western, Eastern, and Central China. Western China covers the most remote regions from the sea. It also has the highest proportion of minority population and the lowest levels of economic output. Eastern China, on the other hand, enjoys a high level of economic development and international corporations. Central China lags far behind in comparison to its booming coastal neighbor. In order to accelerate economic development of Western and Central Chinese regions, the PRC government has ramped up several incentive plans such as ‘Rise of Central China’ and ‘China Western Development’.
Even when observed individually, some provinces could stand an international comparison. Jiangxi, for example, a medium-sized Chinese province, had a larger population than the Ukraine or Argentina in 2016. That year, the GDP of Zhejiang, an eastern coastal province, had even exceeded the economic output of Sweden. In terms of per capita annual income, the municipality of Shanghai reached a level close to that of South Africa. Nevertheless, as shown by the Gini Index, China’s economic spur leaves millions of people in dust. Among the various kinds of economic inequality in China, regional or the so-called coast-inland disparity is one of the most significant. Posing as evidence for the rather large income gap in China, the poorest province Gansu had a per capita income similar to that of Sri Lanka that year.
