Under-five mortality in China has an inverse relationship with economic development. In general, although there are some exceptions, provinces with a low GDP per capita have a relatively high child mortality rate, and vice-versa. Tianjin, Beijing and Shanghai have the highest GDP per capita and the lowest under-five mortality rates.
