Regional economic linkages in China show weak spillover effects, impacting growth disparities.
The study looked at how different regions in China are connected economically. They found that overall, the connections between regions are not very strong. Coastal regions have strong connections with each other, while central China has strong connections with both coastal and western regions. Western regions have weak connections with other regions but have a strong impact on them. The north-east regions have a close economy but weak connections with other regions.
