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.
Inner Mongolia's Liquor, Beverage and Refined Tea Industry: At One End a Trillion-Yuan Drinks Map Built by Dairy Giants, At the Other the Grassland Flavor Held Up by Hetao and Milk Tea
This industry in Inner Mongolia has an unusual bipolar structure. At one end sit Yili and Mengniu, two dairy giants headquartered in Hohhot whose revenues run into the hundreds of billions, and which have grown mineral water and packaged tea drinks out of the dairy root. At the other end are grassland liquor makers such as Hetao, Mongolia King, Ningcheng Laojiao and Caoyuanbai, plus two ethnically rooted specialties, dairy liquor and Mongolian milk tea, forming a flavor that cannot be copied el…

Inner Mongolia Food Manufacturing: From a Glass of Milk to the Finished-Goods Map of a Dairy Capital
The throughline of Inner Mongolia's food manufacturing is turning the nation's largest raw-milk output into finished goods — liquid milk, formula, cheese and frozen treats — led by Hohhot, the Dairy Capital of China, and by the global giants Yili and Mengniu. Using real data, this report maps a landscape centered on finished dairy and extending into deep-processed meat and grassland foods.

Inner Mongolia's Instrument and Meter Manufacturing: A Frontier Case Defined by Use, Not Making
Inner Mongolia is not a manufacturing hub for instruments and meters, but a special case of strong demand and thin production. This report traces the rigid demand from energy safety monitoring, the absence of local manufacturing, and the real strength in metrology and inspection, while honestly noting the limits of the data.

Inner Mongolia Special-Purpose Equipment Industry Research: The Resource-Driven Path of Mining Trucks, Wind Power Equipment, and Agricultural Machinery
Inner Mongolia's special-purpose equipment industry grows along its energy and resource endowment: Baotou is driven by both mining trucks and wind power equipment, while Hohhot's forage machinery and Ordos's chemical equipment form distinct branches. This report traces the cluster's geography, leading players, and supply chain features, and identifies the structural opportunities and weaknesses behind its resource dependence.

Inner Mongolia's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing Industry: Retaining Value from Grassland Ranch to Processing Workshop
Inner Mongolia leads the nation in milk and beef-and-mutton output, yet has long faced the challenge of exporting raw grain and live livestock while processing too little locally. This report follows four main lines, dairy, beef and mutton, corn and potato, to map the clusters, leaders and challenges of Inner Mongolia's agricultural and sideline food processing industry.

China's Provincial Manufacturing Landscape: Industrial Division and Competitive Position Across 13 Key Provinces
China's manufacturing value added has ranked first globally for fourteen consecutive years, yet the internal distribution is anything but uniform. This report maps the industrial logic of the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, central manufacturing belt, and the Chengdu–Chongqing pole, profiling the distinctive specializations of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Anhui, and others — and identifying the structural pressures each faces.

Tianjin Cultural, Educational and Sporting Goods Manufacturing: Carpet Export Hub and the Modernization of Intangible Heritage Crafts
Tianjin's cultural, educational, sports and entertainment goods manufacturing presents a sharply bifurcated structure — the Cuihuangkou carpet cluster in Wuqing District produces over 100 million carpets annually for export to 100-plus countries, while traditional crafts such as Yangliuqing New Year paintings, Clay Figure Zhang, and Fengzheng Wei struggle to scale commercially beyond niche cultural markets.
