The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is a region along the Yangtze River. The idea was introduced in 2014 and established in 2016, with the Chinese government aiming to increase economic growth with minimal environmental damage. Around 21% of the area of China and 40% of its population lies within the belt. Eleven province-level divisions of China are included in the YREB: Anhui, Chongqing, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Zhejiang.
