Sustainable development (SD) is vital for the progress of Chinese provinces, especially in face emerging challenges. This study constructs an index system SD based on five dimensions: economic, social, ecological, political, and cultural aspects, aligning with scientific connotations contemporary requirements. We employ improved entropy-weight-TOPSIS method to assess 30 provinces from 2012 2022. Our analysis explores dynamic evolution, regional disparities, coupling coordination, long-term trends, convergence provincial SD. The findings include: (1) Provincial China has shown consistent growth, but significant disparities remain, forming a gradient distribution high low order “East-Central-Northeast-West.” (2) While both intra-regional inter-regional differences have decreased over time, continue be significant, serving as primary source differences. (3) Coupling coordination across dimensions improved; however, imbalance persists, uncoordinated remaining prominent issue. (4) A clear “club convergence” phenomenon observed, indicating that neighboring influences one another. Higher adjacent regions increases likelihood upward shifts, while lower tends lead downward shifts. (5) Evidence σ-convergence β-convergence suggests ultimately converging toward stable state. These provide valuable insights policymakers aiming enhance sustainable China’s provinces.
