Correction to: Chapter 3 in: M. Song et al., Natural Resources Utilization in China, Contributions to Public Administration and Public Policy, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-4981-6_3

The original version of the book was inadvertently published with incorrect figures and tables in Chapter 3, which have now been corrected. The book and the chapter have been updated with the changes.

Fig. 3.1
A map of China with shaded regions represents the spatial distribution of economic benefits of energy resources in China in 2017 using a gradient scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 1. The economic benefits of China's energy resources in the eastern regions are higher.

Fig. 3.2
A multiple-line graph compares the changing trends in economic benefits of energy resources across 4 economic regions to the national average versus years from 2000 to 2017. All lines have fluctuating trends. The western region lags behind the national average, while others perform better.

Fig. 3.3
A map of China with shaded regions represents the spatial distribution of China’s total factor economic benefits in 2017 using a gradient scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 1. China's total factor economic benefits are higher in the north, northeast, eastern, and some south-central regions.

Fig. 3.4
A multiple-line graph compares the changing trends in total factor economic benefits across 4 major economic regions to the national average versus years from 2000 to 2017. All lines have fluctuating trends. The western region lags behind the national average, while others perform better.

Fig. 3.5
A map of China with shaded regions represents the spatial distribution of China’s carbon emission efficiency in 2017 using a gradient scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 1. The majority of the regions exhibit carbon emission efficiencies between 0.1001 and 0.3000.

Fig. 3.6
A multiple-line graph compares the changing trends of carbon emission efficiency across 4 major economic regions to the national average versus years from 2000 to 2017. All lines have fluctuating trends. The eastern region exceeds the national average, while others exhibit lower values.

Fig. 3.7
A map of China with shaded regions represents the spatial distribution of China’s energy resource comprehensive utilization efficiency in 2017 using a gradient scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 1. Beijing, Shaanxi, Hong Kong, and Guangdong have the highest comprehensive utilization levels.

Fig. 3.8
A multiple-line graph compares the changing trends of comprehensive energy utilization efficiency across 4 economic regions to the national average versus years from 2000 to 2017. All lines have fluctuating trends. The eastern region exceeds the national average, while others exhibit lower values.
