Abstract: Abstract By examining the socioeconomic and political background, we show how China’s regional policy was affected by various factors. We do this in different periods of time, accounting for the conditions in different regions to get an understanding of the policy and how it has evolved over time. From an evolutionary economics perspective, we evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the regional support policy for China’s western regions, specifically their impact on the economic and social development in these regions. We illustrate the path of change which the regional support policy for the western regions has followed. Using this perspective, we explore the links between evolutionary economics and regional policy changes in China.
