China's Shandong Province made history by becoming the country's third provincial-level region to achieve a gross domestic product (GDP) surpassing 10 trillion yuan (about US$1.4 trillion), matching the size of Indonesia's economy in 2025. Shangdong now joins Guangdong and Jiangsu as the only provinces nationwide to reach that level. Shandong's three-sector composition now stands at 6.6 percent for primary, 39.3 percent for secondary and 54.1 percent for tertiary industries. Services contributed 59.1 percent of total economic growth, pulling provincial GDP up by 3.2 percentage points. As China looks to balance regional development, Shandong's breakthrough highlights how industrial upgrading, service expansion and people-centered growth are reshaping northern China‘s economic landscape.
