The inclusive wealth approach is increasingly common to measure the sustainable development of the countries. It comprised the natural, human and produced capital of nations to measure social wellbeing. We measure the inclusive wealth of the provinces in China from 2000 to 2015 and reports the sustainable use of the resources. We identify that three types of capital have increased to varying degrees, with produced capital increasing by 615.6%, natural capital increasing by 33.8%, and human capital increased by 337.0%. The total amount of inclusive wealth has increased by 300.4% in the past 15 years. However, the provinces in China are still facing unbalanced development across the country compared to developed nations. The use of the natural capital, more specifically now-renewable resources, has been restricting the wealth growth in some provinces. Although ecological services account for a small proportion of the total inclusive wealth, more attention is essential for sustainable development. Meanwhile, the rapid growth of carbon damages posed threat to future wealth accumulation. Innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development are the goals of China 13th and 14th five-year plan and our inclusive wealth of China will be key measurement tool of this achievement.
包容性财富方法越来越常用于衡量国家的可持续发展。它包含了国家的自然资本、人力资本和生产资本，以衡量社会福利。我们衡量了中国各省从 2000 年到 2015 年的包容性财富，并报告了资源的可持续利用情况。我们发现，三种类型的资本都有不同程度的增加，其中生产资本增加了 615.6%，自然资本增加了 33.8%，人力资本增加了 337.0%。在过去的 15 年里，包容性财富的总额增加了 300.4%。然而，与发达国家相比，中国各省在全国范围内仍面临着发展不平衡的问题。自然资本的利用，更具体地说是现在可更新资源的利用，已经限制了一些省份的财富增长。虽然生态服务在总包容性财富中所占比例较小，但对于可持续发展来说，仍需要给予更多关注。同时，碳损害的快速增长对未来的财富积累构成了威胁。创新、协调、绿色、开放和共享发展是中国"十三五"和"十四五"规划的目标，我们的中国包容性财富将是衡量这一成就的关键工具。
