Knowledge of modern kinetically limited (i.e., silicate weathering depends on temperature and precipitation) and supply‐limited (i.e., weathering is limited mainly by the supply of fresh material) weathering regimes is important for analyzing the weathering–CO2–climate system on geological timescales. However, on the global scale, there are large knowledge gaps in modern silicate weathering regimes and their possible shifts, due to the lack of spatial information on in situ weathering processes. Here, we present the first detailed compilation of the major element concentrations in bulk and fine fraction ( 80, and the kinetically limited regime prevails in areas with CIA < 80. A significant inference from the results is that tectonic uplift and global warming could cause shifts between supply‐limited and kinetically limited weathering regimes in the active mountain belts and floodplains of southern China and in areas dominated by intermediate chemical weathering. However, no shifts would occur in some of the arid to extremely arid areas of northern China and in highland areas with extreme chemical weathering.
