In 2024, the population of Guangdong province in China amounted to around ***** million inhabitants, ranking first among all the provinces in China. The population density in Guangdong is also higher than in many countries in the world.

In 2024, approximately 127.8 million people lived in Guangdong province in China. That same year, only about 3.7 million people lived in the sparsely populated highlands of Tibet. Regional differences in China 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 behind in comparison to the booming coastal regions. In order to accelerate the 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’. Economic power of different provinces When observed individually, some provinces could stand an international comparison. Jiangxi province, for example, a medium-sized Chinese province, had a population size comparable to Argentina or Spain in 2024. That year, the GDP of Zhejiang, an eastern coastal province, even exceeded the economic output of the Netherlands. In terms of per capita annual income, the municipality of Shanghai reached a level close to that of the Czech Republik. 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 Heilongjiang had a per capita income similar to that of Sri Lanka that year.

This statistic illustrates the population of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area cities in 2024. That year, the population of Guangzhou amounted to approximately ***** million people, making it the largest city by population in the region.

China is a vast and diverse country and population density in different regions varies greatly. In 2024, the estimated population density of the administrative area of Shanghai municipality reached about 3,911 inhabitants per square kilometer, whereas statistically only around three people were living on one square kilometer in Tibet. Population distribution in China China's population is unevenly distributed across the country: while most people are living in the southeastern half of the country, the northwestern half – which includes the provinces and autonomous regions of Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia – is only sparsely populated. Even the inhabitants of a single province might be unequally distributed within its borders. This is significantly influenced by the geography of each region, and is especially the case in the Guangdong, Fujian, or Sichuan provinces due to their mountain ranges. The Chinese provinces with the largest absolute population size are Guangdong in the south, Shandong in the east and Henan in Central China. Urbanization and city population Urbanization is one of the main factors which have been reshaping China over the last four decades. However, when comparing the size of cities and urban population density, one has to bear in mind that data often refers to the administrative area of cities or urban units, which might be much larger than the contiguous built-up area of that city. The administrative area of Beijing municipality, for example, includes large rural districts, where only around 200 inhabitants are living per square kilometer on average, while roughly 20,000 residents per square kilometer are living in the two central city districts. This is the main reason for the huge difference in population density between the four Chinese municipalities Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing shown in many population statistics.

Regional gross domestic product (GDP) in China varies tremendously across the country. In 2024, the GDP of Guangdong province amounted to around **** trillion yuan, whereas that of Tibet only reached about ***** billion yuan. While Guangdong has a thriving economy and is densely populated, Tibet is located in a remote mountain area and has a population of only around *** million people. Regional economic differences in China China can generally be divided into four different economic macro-regions: the economically well-developed coastal parts in Eastern China, the less-developed Central and Northeastern China, and the developing region of Western China. This division is reflected in the figures for regional per capita GDP. The coastal parts of China are not only economically more advanced, but also have a considerably higher population density. This is the result of climatic conditions on the one hand and China's firm integration into the global economy on the other. International companies were initially attracted by special economic zones set up in coastal areas during China's market opening, and well-connected, highly developed urban areas of Eastern China are still favored by international businesses. Prospects for future development The Chinese government has long since been aware of the economic disparities in the country and the political unrest they might stir. Major efforts have been made to improve the conditions in less developed regions. The situation in Central and Western China has improved considerably in the last two decades, and rural poverty decreased on a striking scale. In recent years, growth rates in the west of China have even been higher than in coastal areas. However, the constraints of the global economy remain, and it is very likely that Eastern China will stay ahead in international markets in the foreseeable future.

In 2024, China's national rail services transported more than *********** passengers, representing a significant rise of **** percent from the previous year. The sharp decline in passenger numbers between 2020 and 2022 was largely caused by the prolonged control measures and subsequent lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rail system in China As of 2024, the total operating length of the rail network in China surpassed ******* kilometers, with the provinces of Henan, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, having the highest rail passenger transport capacities. Shanxi and Inner Mongolia were the two regions with the highest freight volume. Due to the varied distribution of resources throughout the country, the rail system in China plays a crucial role in re-distribution. High speed rail (HSR) Being one of the largest countries on earth in terms of area and population, the need for transporting goods and people efficiently on a large scale pushed China to invest in the development of high-speed rail over the last decade, which has led to one of the most developed high-speed rail systems in the world. In 2024, the total length of the HSR network in China reached ****** kilometers, and the number would further grow to ****** kilometers in 2035. Four of the top eight fastest trains in the world are operating in China, and the CRRC Qingdao Sifang 2021 Maglev had a record speed of *** kilometers per hour. The total volume of passengers transported by high-speed railways in China climbed up to a peak of ************ in 2019 before declining sharply in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
