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.
Ningxia Petroleum, Coal and Fuel Processing Industry: The Ningdong Base and Coal Chemical Transformation
Centered on the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base, Ningxia has leveraged its coal resources to build the world's largest single-unit coal-to-oil facility and a nationally leading coal-to-olefins cluster—a living model of China's modern coal chemical industry.

Anhui Agricultural Food Processing: Grain Belt Foundations and the Real Shape of North Anhui's Grain-Oil and Pork Supply Chains
Anhui's agricultural food processing industry is anchored by its status as a major grain province. The center of gravity lies in North Anhui's grain-oil processing clusters and the hog-slaughter chain centered on Linquan County in Fuyang — with Yihai Kerry's Hefei base, Dangshan pear processing, and Dabie Mountain camellia oil each holding their own corners of the map.

Guangdong's Printing and Recording Media Industry: Shenzhen-Dongguan Dual Core and the Anatomy of China's Top Printing Province
Guangdong holds its position as China's largest printing province with nearly 290 billion yuan in output, anchored by Shenzhen's premium commercial printing and Dongguan's high-volume packaging clusters, while leading firms like Yutong, Jinjia, and Artron chart diverging trajectories amid shrinking tobacco packaging, digital disruption, and export headwinds.

Shanxi Paper and Paper Products Industry: Facing Paper Pillar and Inland Packaging Ecosystem
Shanxi's paper industry is modest in scale yet holds a dominant position nationally in gypsum board facing paper; water resource constraints and the province's coal-heavy industrial profile have shaped a packaging-oriented inland paper sector.

Xinjiang Chemical Fiber Manufacturing: A Viscose Powerhouse Driven by Cotton and Coal
Leveraging cotton linter feedstock and coal-integrated energy cost advantages, Xinjiang has become China's most important viscose staple fiber production base, with Zhongtai Chemical and Fulida forming the core capacity pillars while extending downstream into yarn spinning.

Tianjin Textile Industry Research: From Cotton Powerhouse to Technical Textiles and R&D Transition
Tianjin once ranked as China's second-largest cotton textile center; after large-scale capacity migration in the early 2000s, the surviving industry has pivoted toward functional knitwear, technical textiles, and research-driven innovation, anchored by Tianjin Textile Group and Tianjin Polytechnic University's top-ranked textile program.

Jilin Paper Industry Research: The Rise and Fall of Forest-Based Pulp and the Era of Contraction
Jilin's paper industry was built on timber pulp from the Changbai Mountain forest zone; key mills in Yanbian and Jilin City rose then collapsed as logging bans cut off raw material supply and national overcapacity eroded margins, leaving a contracted industry now centered on packaging paper and legacy restructuring.

Sichuan Leather and Footwear Industry: The Rise and Restructuring of China's Western Shoe Capital
Chengdu once held the title of China's Women's Shoe Capital, producing over 600 million pairs at its peak; recent years have brought contraction, yet live-streaming and cross-border e-commerce are fueling a recovery, while Ziyang's Anyue county has emerged as a fast-growing new production base.

Ningxia Alcohol and Beverage Manufacturing: How the Helan Mountain Wine Region Broke Through Nationally, and the Other Path of Goji Drinks
The true weight of Ningxia's alcohol and beverage manufacturing rests on two pillars — the Helan Mountain East Foothill wine region, which has built a collective prestige unmatched by any Chinese appellation, and goji-based beverages carving out a functional drinks niche. Together they define a distinctive industrial identity for this inland autonomous region.

Shandong's Alcohol, Beverage and Tea Manufacturing: Tsingtao Beer and Changyu Anchor Two National-Level Benchmarks, Rizhao Green Tea Rises in the North
What makes Shandong's alcohol-beverage-tea sector remarkable is that it has cultivated nationally recognized anchors in three entirely different sub-industries — beer, wine, and green tea — each with its own distinct story, and only together do they reveal the province's full industrial depth.

Shanxi Furniture Manufacturing: The Cultural Anchor of Jin-Style Classical Furniture and Its Modest Industrial Scale
The core of Shanxi's furniture manufacturing lies not in volume but in culture — Jin-style furniture, a state-level intangible cultural heritage, centers on Xiangfen County's classical furniture cluster, which surpassed 1 billion yuan in output in 2023, yet the overall industry remains modest in national terms due to limited local timber resources.
