China’s Regional Economic Development, 2021–2022: Situation and Prospects
Regional Economic Research Group, Beijing Academy of Social Sciences*
In 2021, the first year of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, the COVID-19 pandemic kept recurring, the mutated viruses spread around the world, and the global economy recovered from setbacks, posing multiple tests to the Chinese economy. The CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core accurately assessed the situation, made careful arrangements, coordinated pandemic prevention and control with economic development, and embarked on a new journey toward comprehensively building a modern socialist country. China’s regional economy demonstrated strong resilience and vitality, and improved overall. The relative gap in regional development narrowed gradually, but the north-south divide was intensified. The overall strategy for regional development was fully implemented, and coordinated regional development moved to a higher level. The drivers for regional economic development were transformed at a faster pace, and high- quality development was promoted. Achievements in poverty alleviation were consolidated and expanded, and rural revitalization was continuously advanced. Ecological progress was deepened, and the “dual carbon” goals and tasks were implemented across the country. As the repeated outbreaks of COVID-19 and the spread of mutated viruses brought great uncertainties to the world economy, China’s economic development is facing great external pressure. In 2022, China’s regional economic development will face many opportunities and challenges. Looking ahead to 2022, the following will be presented in China’s regional economic development. First, major regional strategies and the coordinated regional development strategy will be further implemented, and regional economic layout will be continuously optimized. Second, with modern metropolitan areas as a core, the development of city clusters will be promoted in a hierarchical and classified way. Third, a new development pattern featuring mutual promotion between domestic and international circulations with the domestic circulation as the mainstay will be constructed at a faster pace. Fourth, rural revitalization will be advanced in an all-round way, and modernization of agriculture and rural areas will be accelerated. Fifth, towards the key strategic direction of carbon reduction, comprehensive green transformation will be accelerated in economic and social development.
1.1 Analysis of China’s regional economic development trends in 2021
China’s regional economy saw an overall improvement in 2021. The relative gap in regional development narrowed gradually, but the north-south divide was intensified. The overall strategy for regional development was fully implemented, and coordinated regional development moved to a higher level. The drivers for regional economic development were transformed at a faster pace, and high-quality development was promoted. Achievements in poverty alleviation were consolidated and expanded, and rural revitalization was continuously advanced. Ecological progress was deepened, and the “dual carbon” goals and tasks were implemented across the country.
1.1.1 Despite the impact of the pandemic, the regional economy saw an overall improvement
The international and domestic situations underwent profound and complex changes in 2021. At present, the global pandemic continues to evolve, and sporadic outbreaks have occurred in China, bringing challenges to China’s economy. Thanks to China’s active response, the short-term negative impact of the pandemic has gradually faded, and the economy tends to be stable and sound in the long run.
1.1.1.1. China’s economy saw an overall improvement
China’s GDP reached RMB 114.4 trillion in 2021, up 8.1% year on year at comparable prices. In terms of economic growth, China ranked top among the world’s major economies, with year-on-year growth of 18.3%, 7.9%, 4.9% and 4.0% in the first to fourth quarters, and two-year average growth of 4.9%, 5.5%, 4.9% and 5.2%, respectively (Bureau of Statistics, 2021). By industry, the added value of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries was RMB 8,308.6 billion, RMB 45,090.4 billion and RMB 60,968 billion, up 7.1%, 8.2% and 8.2% year on year respectively, accounting for 7.3%, 39.4% and 53.3% of GDP, respectively. Compared with the previous year, the proportion of the secondary industry increased by 1.6 percentage points, while that of the primary and tertiary industries decreased by 0.4 and 1.2 percentage points respectively. China’s economy maintained a steady recovery in the first two quarters of 2021. Since the third quarter, risks and challenges increased at home and abroad; the pandemic spread around the globe; the world economic recovery slowed down; international commodity prices continued to rise; and some parts of China were hit by the pandemic and floods, thus putting pressure on economic transformation and restructuring.
