Abstract: Abstract This study examines the relationship between the capital structure and profitability of Chinese banks. This paper collects data from the Chinese banking sector from 2008 to 2021 for analysis. The findings are that the debt-to-asset ratio negatively impacts bank profitability across the entire banking industry. The empirical analysis remains robust when using fixed effects. To address the issue of heterogeneity, this paper considers the impact of the debt-to-asset ratio on bank profitability under different capital turnover rates. Findings are that the impact of debt-to-asset ratio on bank profitability varies in different groups.
