Creative destruction is the core driving force for long-term economic growth, and the entry and exit of market entities are the micro manifestations of the creative destruction process. Based on the registration data of industrial and commercial enterprises, this article calculated the level of creative destruction in 31 provinces of China from 2000 to 2020, analyzed the spatio-temporal differentiation pattern and evolution characteristics of creative destruction, revealed its regional differences by using the Dagum Gini coefficient, examined its convergence by using the σ and β convergence models, and discussed its heterogeneity according to different classification criteria. The research finds that: 1) The rate of creative destruction in China was in a stage of slow growth before 2014, but it showed a feature of explosive growth after 2014. The rate of creative destruction in different regions shows obvious spatial imbalance, with the eastern region taking an absolute leading position. 2) At the national level, the differences in the rate of creative destruction show short-term fluctuations and long-term narrowing characteristics, with the gap between the east and the central region being the main source. 3) The creative destruction rates across the country and in various regions exhibit σ convergence and absolute and conditional β convergence characteristics. 4)Marked divergence exists across urban agglomerations, with substantial variations in creative destruction rates among different high-tech industry sectors.
