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.
Hubei's Tobacco Products Industry: One Tobacco Company, Six Cigarette Plants, and a Brand Called Huanghelou
Hubei's tobacco products industry is bounded by the state monopoly system and carried by a single industrial entity, Hubei China Tobacco, operating through six cigarette plants and two leading brands, Huanghelou and Hongjinlong. This report traces its institutional setting, consolidation history, brand structure, and fiscal weight, while honestly marking the limits of public data.

Jiangxi Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: A TCM Base Anchored by One Ancient Medicine Capital, Plus Nanchang Chemical Drugs and Ganzhou Injectables
The root of Jiangxi pharma lies in Zhangshu, a thousand-year-old medicine capital whose decoction-piece makers account for most of the province and whose full-chain revenue has passed 100 billion yuan. Nanchang's Xiaolan park gathered Huiren and Jimin Kexin, pushing the mix from patent medicine into chemical drugs and APIs, while Ganzhou's Qingfeng rests on a single injectable. Three forces form Jiangxi's real base, each with its own concern.

Gansu's Textile Industry: A Century-Old Wool-Spinning City and a Stretch of Fine Wool Below the Qilian Mountains
By output, Gansu's textile industry barely registers nationally; its value-added has even dipped slightly in recent years. But move your gaze from output to the two ends of the chain and a forgotten lineage appears: China's earliest machine wool mill stood in Lanzhou, where only one of six old mills still weaves, while the Hexi Corridor below the Qilian Mountains remains a national fine-wool base. This report maps a textile sector built on wool spinning and rooted in fine wool.

Fujian's Paper and Paper Products Industry: One End Rooted in the Bamboo Hills of the North, the Other in the Packaging and Tissue Workshops of the South
What makes Fujian's paper industry distinctive is that it stands firm at both ends. In the north, Sanming and Nanping draw on China's largest stock of moso bamboo to build integrated forest-pulp-paper at the source; in the south, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, and Jinjiang turn recovered fiber and base paper into packaging board, cartons, and tissue at the terminal. This report traces that chain from bamboo hill to workshop.

Hunan's Textile and Apparel Industry: How Zhuzhou's Lusong Turned a Roadside Market into a Hundred-Billion Capital of Women's Trousers
Hunan's apparel industry is concentrated overwhelmingly in Zhuzhou's Lusong district—a market cluster that began with street stalls beside the railway station and grew, over four decades, into the province's largest and a nationally known apparel hub, supplying roughly a quarter of China's women's trousers while still shaking off its old contract-manufacturing label.

Hunan's Leather, Fur, Feather Products and Footwear Industry: Shaodong's Downstream Breakout and Taoyuan's Late Entry in Athletic Shoes
Hunan's real center of gravity in this industry is not tanning but the two downstream segments of leather goods and footwear. Using Shaodong's luggage base, Taoyuan's athletic-shoe cluster and Jishou's relocation-born luggage park as threads, this report sets out a province that competes through processing and brands rather than upstream tanning.

Hainan's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing: An Island Turning Fish, Rubber and Sugar into Primary-Processing Capacity
In Hainan, agricultural and sideline food processing is not about finished coconut drinks or coffee, but about the step before them—turning live fish into fillets, latex into rubber blocks, sugarcane into raw sugar. Tilapia exports account for nearly a third of the national total, with Wenchang alone supplying close to half the province's farmed output; natural rubber output of about 350,000 tonnes is nearly 40% of China's total, and Hainan Rubber has built primary processing into the world's l…

Zhejiang's Cultural, Educational and Sporting Goods Manufacturing: A Hidden Map Held Up by a Pen, a Racket and a Wooden Toy
Zhejiang's manufacturing of cultural, educational, sporting and recreational goods is scattered across Tonglu's pens, Ningbo's stationery, Fuyang's rackets, Yunhe's wooden toys and Yiwu's small commodities. Using real data, this report maps how these separate county clusters each reached the front rank nationally or globally, and the upstream supply openings they leave.

Hebei's Petroleum, Coal and Other Fuel Processing Industry: Half of It Comes Out of Coke Ovens, Half Out of Refining Towers
Despite the petroleum in its name, the real protagonist of this Hebei industry is coal. Half its mass rests on coking and coal chemicals that ride alongside steel, with Kailuan and Risun turning coal into coke, methanol and downstream tar materials; the other half is refining, where North China Petrochemical, Shijiazhuang and Cangzhou turn crude into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Caofeidian's integrated refining base is this coal-rooted industry's attempt at a petroleum-rooted next chapter.

Hubei's Food Manufacturing Industry: From a Bowl of Reganmian to a Capital of Snack Foods, Turning Local Produce into Brands
Hubei's food manufacturing does not stop at milling rice, pressing oil and slaughtering hogs into basic ingredients. It pushes one step further, turning that produce into branded, recipe-driven, shelf-ready products: hot-dry noodles, rice wine, braised snacks, baked goods and yeast. Wuhan hosts the headquarters of snack brands Bestore and Zhou Hei Ya; hot-dry noodles have grown into an industry worth over ten billion yuan; Xiaogan's rice wine and sesame candy hold a millennium-old flavor; and Y…

A Study of Jiangxi's Liquor, Beverage and Refined Tea Manufacturing — Two Threads of a Special-Aroma Spirit and a Green Leaf
Jiangxi's liquor, beverage and refined tea manufacturing rests on two threads: baijiu and tea. This report traces the origins of the special-aroma type and the shifting balance between Siji and Lidu, reviews how Jiangxi tea moved from scattered to consolidated, and honestly states the limits of public data.

A Study of Henan's Tobacco Products Industry — From the Kingdom of Tobacco Leaves to Huangjinye, One Tobacco Company and Eight Cigarette Factories
Henan's tobacco products industry is bounded by the state monopoly system and rests, on its manufacturing side, on a single industrial entity, Henan Tobacco, and eight cigarette factories, with Huangjinye as its face. This report maps Henan's heritage as an old tobacco-growing province, the structure of Henan Tobacco and its brand lineage, while honestly stating the limits of public data.
