Analysis
China recorded 134.57 trillion constant LCU for gdp in 2025. That is the highest value across all 66 years on record.
That represents a change of up 5.0% on the previous year and up 72.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, gdp in China peaked at 134.57 trillion constant LCU in 2025 and was at its lowest, 766.95 billion constant LCU, in 1962.

About this data
Gross domestic product is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. It can be measured in three different ways: using either the expenditure approach, the income approach, or the production approach. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
