Northeast China (Chinese: 东北; pinyin: Dōngběi) is a region of the People's Republic of China. It consists of three provinces, namely Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang.

The heartland of the region is the Northeast China Plain, the largest plain in China, with an area of over 350,000 km2 (140,000 sq mi). It is separated from the Russian Far East to the north by the Amur, Argun, and Ussuri Rivers; from North Korea to the south by the Yalu and Tumen Rivers; and from Inner Mongolia to the west by the Greater Khingan and parts of the Xiliao River.

Due to the shrinking of its once-powerful industrial sector and the decline of its economic growth and population, the region is often referred to as China's Rust Belt.[3][4][5][6][7] As a result, a campaign named Northeast Area Revitalization Plan was launched in the 2000s by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, in which five prefectures of eastern Inner Mongolia, namely Hulunbuir, Hinggan, Tongliao, Chifeng and Xilin Gol, are also formally defined as regions of the Northeast.[8]
