Central China region.
Green = Rise of Central China Plan

Central China (Chinese: 华中; pinyin: Huázhōng) is a region in China. It mainly includes the provincesofHenan, Hubei and Hunan. Jiangxi is sometimes also regarded to be part of this region. Central China is now officially part of the South Central China region.

In the context of the Rise of Central China Plan by the State Council of the People's Republic of China in 2004, surrounding provinces including Shanxi, Anhui, are also defined as regions of Central China development zones.[1]: 217 

Since 2004, these provinces have experienced a steady increase in domestic investment, particularly from coastal regions.[1]: 218 

As part of the Xi Jinping administration's goal to urbanize 250 million citizens by 2025 as the first phase of a long-term green modernization plan, China seeks to resettle formerly rural people in provincial capitals, prefectural cities, and county-level towns in central China (as well as western China).[2]: 8
