Scope

What the province total covers

Jiangxi lies south of the Yangtze River around the Gan River and Poyang Lake. Province totals combine Nanchang with eleven prefecture-level divisions and extensive rural territory.

Boundary

Province is not a metro area

Resident population is the year-end province-wide total: 45.02 million in 2024. Administrative area (166,900 sq km) is territory inside the provincial-level boundary, not built-up area.

Economy

How to read the structure

In 2024, Jiangxi's GDP reached 3.42 trillion yuan and real GDP grew 5.1 percent. 2024 industry structure: primary 7.6%, secondary 40.0%, tertiary 52.4%.

International scale check

Compared with Thailand

Selected for similar economic scale: Thailand.

Not a like-for-like rank

Thailand's nominal GDP (~US$0.53T, World Bank 2024) is close to Jiangxi's provincial-level GDP after indicative USD conversion (~US$0.49T).

Jiangxi is a central-southeast province with electronics, copper, lithium and a large rice-growing economy; Thailand is a sovereign country. GDP proximity is a scale reference only. Population, area, administrative status and economic structure are not directly comparable.

The 2025 official provincial-media report directly binds Yingtan city-cluster copper-industry operating revenue to about 15% of China copper-industry revenue. Preserve the approximate share and city-cluster scope; do not infer a copper-material output share from the separate 7.30 million-tonne output figure.
