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.
Anhui Wood and Bamboo Products Industry: Three Distinct Clusters in South, North and West
Anhui's wood and bamboo processing industry has three distinct faces — the moso bamboo supply chain of Guangde and Huoshan in southern Anhui, the poplar-based engineered wood clusters of Yeji and Suizhou in the north, and the grass-willow weaving export belt of Funan and Huoqiu in the west. Geographically disconnected, each has carved out a national footprint in its own right.

Tianjin's Beverage, Liquor and Tea Manufacturing: Three Faces, One Open-Port Legacy
From a 1980 Sino-French joint-venture winery to a tea-drink empire launched by Tingyi in the economic development zone in 1992, to a century-old jasmine tea house dating back to the Qing dynasty — Tianjin's alcohol, beverage and tea manufacturing sector is both a mirror of the city's open-port history and a case study in how local legacy brands navigate pressure from national giants.

Ningxia Food Manufacturing: A Dual-Anchor Industry Built on Wolfberry Deep Processing and Helan Mountain Wines
Ningxia's food manufacturing landscape rests on two distinct pillars — the transformation of Zhongning wolfberries from dried fruit into value-added products like raw juice and glycopeptides, and the collective rise of 253 wineries on the eastern slopes of Helan Mountain redefining China's fine wine credentials on the world stage.

Anhui Province Tobacco Products Industry: The焦甜香 Leaf Base of Southern Anhui and the Industrial Structure Behind the Huangshan Brand
Anhui's tobacco products industry rests on two pillars — the distinctive jiao-tian-xiang (caramel-sweet aroma) leaf-growing zone around Xuancheng in southern Anhui, and Anhui China Tobacco's five-factory network producing under the Huangshan brand. Raw material supply and industrial manufacturing form a clear vertical division of labor within a tightly regulated sector.
