Zhu Rongji and Chinese Manufacturing: Institutional Foundations and Industrial Legacy, 1987-2003
Zhu Rongji died on August 12, 2026, at 98. This 41-chapter study traces his sixteen years of institution-building for Chinese manufacturing: Santana localization and Pudong; the 1994 tax-sharing and exchange-rate reforms; the SOE turnaround, spindle cutting, the 1998 ministerial restructuring, and WTO accession - mapped onto the ground beneath China's 4.8 million factories today. With a chronology, notes on statistics, and verified quotations.

One Sentence, One Prospect List: Six Manufacturing-Sales Workflows Rewritten by MCP and Agent Skills
The Tianxia Gongchang open platform turned five capabilities over 4.8 million factories into tools an AI assistant can call directly, and released an official Agent Skill. Six workflows show what changes in manufacturing sales: a Ningbo territory motion narrowed from 430 to 34, a Jiangsu ICP cut from 39,747 to 1,707 and exported by district slices, pre-show verification, exporter filtering, legacy lead enrichment, and assistant setup. Every figure was retrieved on August 4, 2026.

DeepSeek V4 Flash Post-Launch Review: From 'Shock Moment' to 'Efficiency as the Norm', Chinese LLMs Enter Their Second Phase
On July 31, 2026, DeepSeek quietly shipped the official V4 Flash in its API changelog: a model with 13 billion active parameters that overtook the preview of its own 1.6-trillion-parameter flagship on agentic benchmarks. Markets barely moved, yet the price war has flipped, and this time it was OpenAI that cut first. This report reviews the launch, the global market reaction, and the deeper shifts in the US-China AI landscape, and asks what plunging inference costs mean for Chinese manufacturing.

ABOUT
What we do
We publish structural research industry by industry, at the granularity of individual industrial clusters, built on real factory data. Every report draws on two sources: public membership data from trade associations, and a verified sample of real factories identified from the Tianxia Gongchang database.
