Foreign Media: Guangdong has been the largest regional economy in China for nearly four decades, but its position is now being challenged, as Jiangsu is rapidly catching up.
Jiangsu Province has many multinational and high-tech enterprises, and has shown stronger economic vitality in recent years, while Guangdong's economic growth has slowed down.
In 2025, Jiangsu's GDP reached 14.23 trillion yuan, while Guangdong's was 14.58 trillion yuan. Guangdong has remained first for the 37th consecutive year, but the gap between the two has greatly narrowed.
