Among them, Jilin led with a growth rate of 6.5%, while Jiangsu and Chongqing tied for second place with a growth rate of 6.2%. "In addition to the low base impact in the early stage, Jilin's economic growth rate has shown a relatively high growth. Firstly, the industrial economy has grown rapidly, especially the industrial production capacity of automobiles, rail transit, and other industries has been fully released. Secondly, the supply and demand of the Chinese tourism service industry in a service-oriented economy have flourished." Liu Xiangdong, Deputy Minister of the Economic Research Department of the China International Economic Exchange Center, told our reporter that in the first quarter, the economic development of each province showed a positive change of marginal improvement, and the overall economic growth rate of each province showed a steady recovery and a positive trend. At the same time, there is a trend of differentiation in the normal economic recovery of various provinces. Jilin and other provinces seize opportunities for economic recovery and policy development, striving to develop upstream in the economic growth queue. Each province aims for high-quality development and places economic construction at the center of its tasks, demonstrating a competitive and open development model of catching up with each other. From the perspective of growth rate, among the top ten provinces in terms of economic output in the first quarter, six provinces including Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hubei, and Fujian had growth rates above the national level, while all five provinces except Fujian had growth rates of 6% or more.

The top ten provinces in terms of economic output in the first quarter saw a year-on-year growth of 745.147 billion yuan, accounting for more than 60% of the country's GDP growth in the first quarter. "In the first quarter, the economic growth rate in various regions continued to recover, especially in major economic provinces such as Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhejiang, which played a leading role in leading the continuous recovery and improvement of the Chinese economy." Liu Xiangdong analyzed that this is mainly due to the strong resilience of economic development in major economic provinces, which are not only populous but also innovative and foreign trade oriented. Data shows that in the first quarter, Guangdong's total import and export volume was 20400 yuan
