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.
A Study of Gansu's Printing and Recording Media Reproduction Industry — A Northwest Printing Map Held Up by One Publishing Group
Gansu's printing and recording media reproduction industry has long been described as small, scattered and weak, yet it is firmly anchored by a single publishing-media group. This report works outward from the Reader Publishing Group, mapping the institutional foundation of its book and textbook printing, its green-printing-base attempt at transformation, and the real limits of its market-driven packaging and cigarette-pack segments.

Fujian's Textile Industry: From a Barrel of Crude to a Strand of Nylon, the Upstream Map Held Up by Changle and Jinjiang
Outsiders think of Fujian textiles as Jinjiang's sportswear brands. But what really lets this chain stand is the quieter stretch in front of those brands, the upstream, where Changle refines crude into nylon filament, Jinjiang weaves filament into functional fabric, and Shishi dyes greige cloth into ready material. This report focuses on the chemical fiber, weaving, and dyeing upstream of Fujian textiles.

Hebei's Liquor, Beverage and Refined Tea Manufacturing: A Northern Drinks Province Defined by an Aroma Type and a Cup of Almond Milk, Repeatedly Rewritten by the Rise and Fall of Its Hits
Hebei's drinks industry is a map stitched from a few vivid symbols. Hengshui Lao Baigan props up a baijiu aroma type named after the province; Chengde Lulu turned a cup of almond milk into a northern staple for nearly thirty years; Great Wall Wine produced China's first dry white at Shacheng in Huailai; Liuling Zui guards a thousand-year-old distillery site. It has deep foundations built on jar fermentation and time-honored houses, yet it has also been schooled, hard, by hits like Xurisheng. Th…

Henan's Paper and Paper Products Industry: Making Paper on One Hand, Making the Machines That Make Paper on the Other — An Underrated Two-Layer Sector
Henan is rarely counted among China's top-tier papermaking provinces, yet it has two layers seen almost nowhere else. One is roughly three hundred pulp, paper and paper-products firms across Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Zhoukou, Luohe and Zhumadian, making containerboard, corrugating medium, specialty and tissue paper. The other is Qinyang in Jiaozuo — the country's only county-level papermaking-equipment base, supplying over 30% of national output of paper machines and parts. The delisting and restructu…

Jiangxi's Wood, Bamboo, Rattan, Palm and Straw Processing Industry: The Account Behind a Stalk of Moso Bamboo and a Camphor Tree
Jiangxi's wood-and-bamboo processing centers not on finished furniture but on the upstream resource itself — that stalk of moso bamboo and that camphor tree. The nation's second-largest bamboo forest, a near-80-billion-yuan bamboo industry, the bamboo-tech clusters of Zixi and Tonggu, and the chemical processing of camphor in Zhangshu form a map entirely different from Nankang's furniture.

Hubei's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing Industry: One Crayfish, One Bottle of Oil, One Grain of Rice, Simmering a Land of Fish and Rice into Industrial Chains
The character of Hubei's agricultural and sideline food processing is what the phrase land of fish and rice looks like once it reaches the processing stage. Qianjiang has turned a single crayfish into a full-chain industry worth over 75 billion yuan in combined output; the Jianghan Plain ranks among China's top rapeseed producers; rice in Jingzhou is deeply processed by leaders like Fuwa; Zigui and Yichang take citrus from fresh fruit to canned goods, orange wine and oil; and pigs in Xiangyang …

A Study of Zhejiang's Tobacco Products Industry — One Tobacco Company, Two Factories and the Premium Case of Liqun
Zhejiang's tobacco products industry has its boundaries drawn by the state monopoly system, with manufacturing concentrated in a single industrial entity, Zhejiang Tobacco, and two cigarette factories in Hangzhou and Ningbo. This report maps its institutional backdrop, its structure, and the premium path of the Liqun brand, while honestly stating the limits of public data.

Gansu's Leather, Fur, Feather Products and Footwear Industry: A Northwest Hide-and-Wool Corridor from Pastoral Raw Skins to a Silk Road Dry Port
Gansu's weight in this industry lies not in shoemaking but in the early-stage processing and distribution of cattle and sheep hides and wool. Using the Guanghe leather-and-wool cluster, the trading traditions of Sanjiaji and Zhangjiachuan's Longshan, the pastoral raw materials of Gannan and Linxia, and the export channel toward Central and West Asia as threads, this report sets out a small but clearly structured northwest hide-and-wool industry.

Hunan Furniture Manufacturing: Two Main Lines Built on Liuyang Solid Wood and Taojiang Bamboo
Hunan furniture wins not through a single dominant brand but through Liuyang Yong'an's solid-wood cluster, Taojiang's bamboo industry, and newer parks at Qidong and Xintian that absorb relocated coastal capacity. This report maps its dispersed, multi-pole structure and the upstream supply opportunities it leaves behind, using verified data.

Hainan's Food Manufacturing: An Island That Boils Coconut and Coffee Into Factory Capacity
In Hainan, food manufacturing is built not on grain and livestock but on two tropical crops, coconut and coffee. Coconut processing exceeds RMB20bn in annual output value across more than 300 registered firms; Coconut Tree sells over RMB5bn of coconut juice a year, Chunguang and Nanguo turn coconut into hundreds of snack items, and Wanning Xinglong and Chengmai Fushan roast a small, fine coffee line. This report maps the cluster division, leadership and upstream supply opportunities of this tro…

Fujian's Textile and Apparel Industry: A Province-Wide Loop from a Strand of Nylon to a Pair of Running Shoes
Fujian's textile and apparel industry earns over 600 billion yuan a year and ranks third nationwide. Its real distinction is not a single strong link, but that within one province it chains Changle's nylon, Shishi's fabric and wholesale, and Jinjiang's sportswear brands into a rare, complete loop.

Henan Apparel: Three and a Half Billion Garments a Year, Short Not on Volume but on the One-Yuan Margin
Henan sews roughly 3.5 billion garments a year, sixth in China, yet the five provinces ahead have all crossed one trillion yuan in output while Henan stays at four hundred billion. The volume is ample but the unit price is stubbornly low: Zhengzhou's women's trousers hold half the market, Anyang is a knitwear and children's-wear capital, Guangshan makes one in ten of the nation's down jackets, Shangqiu absorbs coastal transfers. This report maps that processing-led chain.
