The Industrial Map of Chinese Manufacturing
We publish structural research industry by industry, at the granularity of individual industrial clusters, built on real factory samples. Every report cross-references two sources — public membership rolls from trade associations, and verified factories identified by Tianxia Gongchang. The full factory list lives on the main platform.
One Bloodline: From the Jiangnan Arsenal to the Three Pearls (1865–2026)
From the Huiji of 1868 to the carrier Fujian of 2022, the institutional bloodline of Jiangnan Shipyard has run unbroken for 160 years. What a nation can build at sea is, roughly, a measure of how far its industry has come — this is a history of how a complete industrial system grows.

The Reversal of Teacher and Student: Seventy-Seven Years of China-Russia Industrial Interaction (1949–2026)
From the 156 Projects to the pipelines of Siberia, China and Russia have, across seventy-seven years, completely traded their industrial places.

Symbiosis and Rebalancing: 48 Years of China–US Industrial Engagement (1979–2026)
From the 1979 thaw to the competitive rebalancing of 2026 — how China–US manufacturing went from complementary symbiosis to rivalry, and how that history built the factory landscape China has today.

China's 2024 Energy Transition Accelerates: National Targets and Provincial Roadmaps
The NEA's 2024 Guiding Opinions on Energy Work set a non-fossil power capacity share target of 55% and a wind-solar generation share target of 17%. Tianxia Gongchang Industrial Research Institute reviews all 31 provincial government work reports to map three structural storylines: western resource export, eastern grid absorption upgrades, and storage expansion. We also trace the manufacturing supply-chain implications of this policy cycle.

China's Chemical Project Map in 2024: Where the Investment Is and What Is Driving It
Drawing on China's 2024 active construction and planned chemical project pipeline, this report examines the regional distribution across East China, Northwest China, and South China, analyzes the industrial logic of five key provinces — Shandong, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Guangdong — and assesses how the large-scale expansion of integrated refining-and-chemical bases and the policy push to 'reduce oil, grow chemicals' are redrawing the national industrial map.

China's Power Battery Capacity Landscape: Regional Map, Enterprise Competition, and Structural Overcapacity
China's power battery capacity has surpassed 1,500 GWh, forming a regional structure anchored by Fujian, Jiangsu, Sichuan, and Guangdong. CATL and BYD together hold more than 70% of the domestic market. This report maps provincial capacity distribution, the competitive dynamics among leading enterprises, and the structural contradictions behind falling utilization rates.

Qinchuan Machine Tool Research Report: Dual-Engine Drive of High-End Five-Axis Machining and State-Owned Enterprise Reform
Qinchuan Machine Tool is a leading enterprise in China's machine tool and tooling industry. This report examines its four-segment business structure, progress in five-axis machine tool import substitution, the strategic rationale behind two rounds of private placement, and its comparative advantages and challenges in high-end manufacturing and new-energy vehicle drivetrains.

Cobalt Industry Research: Supply Acceleration and the Long Road to Rebalancing
Cobalt is a critical metal in the new-energy battery supply chain and one of the most structurally mismatched commodities of recent years. This report examines the supply structure, demand evolution, price cycle, industrial-chain positioning, and key market participants across five dimensions.

Yunnan Vegetable Industry Research Report: Geographic Endowment and Industrial Chain Upgrading of China's Highland Vegetable Basket
Yunnan's tiered climate creates a year-round, uninterrupted vegetable supply system. Annual output has surpassed 30 million tonnes, with exports reaching over 40 countries and regions. This report maps the major production zones, category structure, outbound logistics, cold-chain gaps, and the supply chain opportunities for upstream sectors including agricultural inputs, seedlings, cold-chain equipment, and processing machinery.

Aviation Transport and Airport Sector Research: Post-Pandemic Recovery, Competitive Dynamics, and Supply-Chain Opportunities
China's civil aviation sector climbed from near-total pandemic shutdown to a record 700 million passengers in 2024. This report maps the industry structure, the four key players in the chain, demand cycles, competitive landscape, and risks — and points to upstream opportunities in aviation equipment manufacturing.

Guizhou Tyre Research Report: Mastering Commercial Tyres and Driving International Expansion via Dual-Base Strategy
Guizhou Tyre has spent more than six decades deepening its position in truck/bus and off-the-road tyre manufacturing. This report maps its production footprint, the logic behind its Vietnam dual-base strategy, trade-barrier navigation, and the structural constraints that will shape its next phase of growth.
