From China A new compilation of economics data by JRAIA, Statista places 2025 at the forefront of China, with a figure of 185 (World Total) for 2026.

The reading is the highest across the province's 16 regencies and cities, and stands in stark contrast to 2025, which posts the bottom value at 30 (World Minus China).

The disparity points to deep-seated structural differences in how the indicator unfolds locally. Taken together, the highest and lowest readings differ by 155, equivalent to a 6.2-fold gap.

The variation, which observers consider stark, illustrates the degree to which economics hinges on factors ranging from urban density and infrastructure to historical access to public services.

Aggregating across the 16 regions yields an average of 99.51 per district and a combined total of 1.59K for 2026, offering a baseline against which individual readings can be compared.

By that measure, 2025's reading is roughly 85.9% above the provincial mean, while 2025 sits about 69.9% below it.

Set against China's national picture, the China figures reflect dynamics observed across much of the country: a concentration of higher readings in urbanised districts, and persistently lower values in less-densely populated or more remote areas.
