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.
Gansu Food Manufacturing: How an Inland Province Turns a Bowl of Noodles, a Lily Pastry and a Bottle of Olive Oil Into Finished Goods
Gansu's food manufacturing is not the story of first-stage processing but of carrying raw materials several steps further into named, packaged finished goods: Lanzhou deconstructing a hand-pulled noodle bowl into pre-packaged dough cakes, broth and seasoning sachets; Qilihe and Yuzhong turning fresh lilies into frozen lily, lily pastry and lily paste; Linxia's Bafang making halal beef, mutton and groceries into export-oriented ethnic specialty foods; Longnan's Wudu pressing olives into edible o…

Hunan's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing: Turning a Province's Rice, Hogs, Oil and Cured Meat into Trillion-Yuan Local Value
Hunan's agricultural and sideline food processing is the most direct outlet for a "land of fish and rice" to monetize its raw-material base. It wins not by creating flavor but by milling rice, slaughtering hogs, pressing oil and curing meat from its own paddies, pens and hills on the spot, building an agricultural-processing economy of over 2 trillion yuan in revenue. Jinjian Cereals holds rice, Tangrenshen runs hogs and feed, Daodaoquan makes rapeseed oil, tea-oil output ranks first nationwide…

Zhejiang Printing and Recording Media Reproduction Industry: One Small City Carrying the China Printing City Title and Nearly Ten Thousand Packaging Printers
Zhejiang's printing industry ranks near the top nationally in scale, yet its structure is heavily concentrated in Longgang, a small city promoted from a township, while the book and packaging printing clusters around Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shaoxing form a pattern of one city carrying volume and a few leaders carrying quality.

Jiangxi Petroleum, Coal and Other Fuel Processing: A Ten-Million-Ton Refinery at the Foot of Mount Lu, a Century-Old Coke City on the Anyuan Coal Seam
Jiangxi's fuel-processing sector is stitched from two lines of utterly different origin: one is the modern refining Jiujiang grew along the Yangtze, climbing toward aromatics and polyester integration around Sinopec's ten-million-ton Jiujiang Petrochemical; the other is the coking tradition Pingxiang and Fengcheng carry on from the century-old Anyuan coal seam, now being rewritten by ultra-low emissions and coke-oven-gas hydrogen.

Fujian's Liquor, Beverage and Refined Tea Manufacturing: A National First Built on One Leaf, and a Supply Chain Spun From One Beer City
In Fujian, the true protagonist of this sector is tea. The province's full tea-chain value tops RMB150bn, with per-mu yield and export value both first nationally; Anxi Tieguanyin, Wuyi Rock Tea and Fuding white tea each form a cluster. Meanwhile Putian, anchored by a world-class brewery of ~2M tonnes annual capacity, has spun out a full supporting chain; Fuzhou's Qinghong rice wine guards the yellow-wine lineage, and Wuyishan mineral water fills the beverage corner. This report maps a landscap…

Hebei's Textile Industry: A County-Level Belt With No Provincial Champion That Took Single Products to One Third of the Nation
Hebei's textiles have no single mill that commands the whole province. Their weight is scattered across counties that each pushed one product to its limit — Gaoyang's towels make up about a third of the nation's output, Qinghe trades roughly half the world's cashmere, and Ningjin's casual wear and Rongcheng's menswear each anchor a "famous town." This is a chain built county by county, each guarding one category.

Hainan Leather, Fur, Feather Products and Footwear Industry: A Nearly Absent Piece of the Map and the Trade-offs of an Island Economy
On China's map of footwear and leather, Hainan is almost a blank space. Rather than inventing capacity and companies that do not exist, this report starts from Hainan's service- and tourism-led economy to explain why this labour-intensive industry is nearly absent on an island and inside a free trade port, and what that absence itself reveals.

Hubei's Wood, Bamboo, Rattan, Palm and Straw Products Industry: A Ledger With Two Entries, From Moso Bamboo to Engineered Boards
Hubei's wood-and-bamboo processing runs on two parallel lines rather than a single hit product: moso bamboo and engineered boards. Xianning has turned one stalk of bamboo into an industry worth over eight billion yuan, while the plains and hills carry particleboard capacity among the nation's highest. This report examines the resource base, the structure of Xianning's bamboo cluster, the engineered-board and forest-product picture, and the real pressures of raw materials and homogeneous competi…

Hainan's Furniture Manufacturing: An Island Too Small for Furniture at Scale, Yet It Turned One Precious Wood Into an Industry
Hainan has no furniture-factory cluster at scale, and furniture is not among its industrial pillars. But it holds a thread found nowhere else — Hainan huanghuali rosewood. This report places the real weight of Hainan's furniture on Dongfang's rosewood cultivation, Haikou's rosewood furniture, and two lineages of handicraft, coconut carving and Li-ethnic rattan weaving, and honestly notes how thin it is.

Gansu's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing: A Western Primary-Processing Map Built on One Potato, One Red Bull, One Basket of Apples and One Root of Medicine
Gansu's agricultural and sideline food processing is not the orderly granary-style industry of a great plain, but several puzzle pieces forced apart by nature: Dingxi's potato starch and wide noodles, the cattle slaughtering and cutting of Pingliang and Zhangye, Jingning's apple and juice processing, the herbal-material primary processing and warehousing of Longxi and Minxian, and the flour and corn starch of the Hexi Corridor. Each grows beside the local raw material it does best, does its pri…

Hebei's Wood, Bamboo, Rattan, Palm and Straw Processing Industry: A Processing Hinterland Built on a Single Board
Hebei has no southern bamboo sea, yet between Beijing and Tianjin it has grown a dense hinterland of boards and furniture. This report maps the Wen'an-Xianghe-Dacheng triangle, the logic of undertaking Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei industrial transfer, the national share in construction templates, and the green transition forced by environmental remediation.

Hunan's Food Manufacturing Industry: A Provincial Map That Turned Spice, Braised Snacks and Nibbles Into National Clout
The strength of Hunan's food manufacturing lies not in abundant raw materials but in how it turned a mouthful of spice, braised flavor and snack food into national industries and brands. Pingjiang county alone supplies about a third of the country's spicy strips, Xiangtan clusters a hundred-billion-yuan betel nut trade, Changsha is home to braised-snack leader Juewei, and Yanjin Puzi and Jinzai have pushed sweet-and-savory snacks and dried fish onto the capital markets. This article maps the cl…
