The modern connection between the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and eastern China summer precipitation (ECSP) at the decadal scale has been extensively studied. However, whether this correlation is stable during the warmer backgrounds in the past and future remains unclear. Clarifying this issue may yield meaningful insights into past PDO reconstruction and decadal climate projection in eastern China (EC). Based on the FGOALS-f3-L, which performs best in reproducing the observed PDO pattern and the decadal PDO–ECSP relationship among 10 models under the framework of the coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6), we find an unstable relationship between the PDO and ECSP at the decadal scale during the last Interglacial (LIG), mid-Holocene, and the twenty-first century under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) SSP5–8.5 scenario. The PDO-related ECSP roughly shows a west–east dipole pattern with excessive precipitation in the east during the LIG, whereas the mid-Holocene witnesses a generally decreased ECSP, except for South and Northeast China. Under the SSP5–8.5 scenario, the PDO-related decadal ECSP exhibits excessive precipitation in the west but a deficit in the east, especially in South and Northeast China. This instability is ascribed to changes in the vertical motions and moisture divergence associated with various configurations of large-scale atmospheric circulations from the lower to upper troposphere. Furthermore, these diverse atmospheric circulation patterns relate to the variations in the convective heating over the western North Pacific and the propagation of extratropical Rossby waves, which are connected with the different PDO patterns and the mean state differences in the westerly jet stream locations during the past and future warm periods
