Regions of the country where businesses focus on "moving up the value chain, greater innovation, higher wage growth, and all of that supports the China consumer story" are flourishing, with growth rates above 6 percent, Rikkerink said. "The areas that are very heavily dependent on resources are struggling more as demand declines and capital spending is cut."
Yunnan province, a popular tourist destination in the south of the country, achieved 8.7 percent growth last year, well above the national average of 6.9 percent. In contrast, Liaoning in the northeastern rust belt managed just 3 percent.
