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.
Xinjiang Non-Ferrous Metal Smelting and Rolling Industry Report: Aluminum's Home Ground and Multi-Metal Landscape
Xinjiang leads all Chinese provinces in ten non-ferrous metals output, anchored by electrolytic aluminum and diversified by copper-nickel, lead-zinc and rare-earth smelting.

Hebei Chemical Industry Landscape: Petrochemicals, Coal Chemicals and Fine Chemicals in Parallel
Cangzhou Lingang has ranked among China's top 30 chemical parks for 12 consecutive years; Shijiazhuang's circular chemical zone exceeds CNY 220 billion in revenue. Hebei's chemical sector is navigating relocation-into-parks policy and green transition simultaneously.

Guangxi Non-Metallic Mineral Products Industry: Ceramics and Calcium Carbonate Push Through Cement Overcapacity
Guangxi's non-metallic mineral products sector rests on three pillars — cement, ceramics, and calcium carbonate — with clinker capacity ranked second nationally, while Beiliu daily ceramics and Hezhou heavy calcium are emerging as the industry's two key transformation anchors.

Jiangxi Rubber and Plastic Products Industry: Two Diverging Paths
Jiangxi's rubber and plastic products industry runs along two distinct tracks — a plastics-weaving cluster anchored in Yihuang, and a silicone materials cluster in Yongxiu — serving very different market tiers.

Hubei's Non-Metallic Mineral Products Industry: From a Century-Old Cement Plant to a Provincial Building Materials Landscape
Hubei's non-metallic mineral products industry is rooted in the limestone hills of Huangshi. Huaxin Cement, founded in 1907, remains its deepest anchor; Dangyang in Yichang hosts Central China's most concentrated building ceramics cluster; Wuhan Changli Glass integrates float glass production through deep processing. This report maps Hubei's real industrial structure and the pressures it faces today.

Henan Non-Ferrous Metal Smelting and Processing Industry: The Industrial Map of Aluminum, Lead, Zinc and Molybdenum
Henan is one of China's largest non-ferrous metal smelting provinces. Aluminum processing in Gongyi, lead-zinc smelting in Jiyuan, and molybdenum processing in Luanchuan together form a multi-metal industrial structure with national-leading positions in each segment.

Hainan Province Metal Products Industry: An Honest Industrial Absence and Limited Openings Under the Free Trade Port
Hainan is not a metal products manufacturing province. This is not a criticism but an honest description of a province anchored by tourism, petrochemicals, and tropical agriculture. This report traces the structural reasons behind the sector's small footprint and the limited presence of construction-support metal fabricators in the Free Trade Port era.

Jilin Province Non-Ferrous Metals Smelting and Processing: Anchored by Nickel, Flanked by Molybdenum
Jilin's non-ferrous metals industry rests on two large ore deposits — the Hongqiling copper-nickel sulfide mine in Panshi and the Daheishan porphyry molybdenum mine in Jiaohe — with Jien Nickel extending into new-energy battery materials and Daheishan Molybdenum holding Asia's second-largest single molybdenum deposit. A research-grade rare-earth materials platform in Changchun completes the picture.

Anhui Cultural, Sports and Craft Manufacturing: The Four Treasures of the Study and the Road to Industrial Revival
What makes Anhui's cultural goods manufacturing worth studying is not scale, but two distinct trajectories — Xuancheng turning paper and brush into an all-scenario cultural consumption industry, and Huizhou's ink and inkstone finding new footing through standardization.

Shanxi Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Cephalosporin APIs and Classic TCM Formulas as Dual Pillars
Shanxi's pharmaceutical manufacturing rests on four pillars — Sinopharm Weiqida's large-scale cephalosporin API base in Datong, Yabao's pediatric niche dominance from Yuncheng, Guangyuyuan's five-century intangible heritage TCM brands, and Zhendong's painful restructuring — set against the backdrop of China's richest northern medicinal herb resource base.

Sichuan Ferrous Metal Smelting and Rolling: Industrial Gravity Shifting in a Vanadium-Titanium Co-deposit Landscape
Sichuan's steel industry is anchored by Panzhihua's vanadium-titanium magnetite reserves. Pangang-led deep processing of vanadium and titanium now surpasses traditional steelmaking as the new growth pole, while the province's electric furnace short-process share leads the nation—marking a pivotal shift from crude steel volume expansion to high value-added transformation.

Guangdong Chemical Raw Materials and Products Manufacturing: From Petrochemical Base to Fine Chemical Leap
Guangdong is leveraging its five integrated refining-chemical bases and a trillion-yuan green petrochemical cluster to transform upstream ethylene and aromatics capacity into downstream advantages in coatings, inks, and specialty chemicals — with global giants and domestic leaders competing in parallel.
