Coastal provinces driving Chinese economy, but at the expense of regional gap.
The article discusses how different regions in China can grow more evenly by using development aid effectively. By studying data from Chinese provinces, the author found that some provinces help their neighbors grow, while others benefit from growth in coastal areas. Coastal provinces play a big role in China's economic growth, but this can widen the gap between regions. To reduce this gap, the author suggests focusing on developing inland hubs like Hubei and Sichuan. This would help spread growth to other regions without sacrificing overall economic growth.
