@jasonqian there may be historical reasons too. During the Chinese Civil War, the north generally supported the CCP, while the south supported KMT. CCP may have also wanted to punish the south for fighting against him during the war, thus north provinces got huge state funds during that time and south provinces got milked dry for example
