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.
Zhejiang's Wood, Bamboo, Rattan, Palm and Straw Processing Industry: A Multi-Core Landscape from a Bamboo Stalk to a Wooden Toy
Zhejiang has split wood-and-bamboo processing into three distinct tracks: bamboo, panels and wooden toys. This report maps Anji's national standing in bamboo, Jiashan's plywood base, Yunhe's wooden-toy export hub, leaders such as Yoyu and Dasso, and the logic of replacing plastic with bamboo — while examining the real pressures of raw materials and homogeneous competition.

A Study of Gansu's Tobacco Products Industry — From the Lanzhou Cigarette Factory to a Northwest "One Company, Two Sites" Model
Gansu's tobacco products industry is bounded by the state monopoly system, with its entire manufacturing side resting on one industrial entity — Gansu Tobacco Industry — and two cigarette factories in Lanzhou and Tianshui. This report maps its institutional backdrop, its one-company-two-sites structure, the Lanzhou brand and a cross-provincial restructuring, while honestly stating the limits of public data.

Beijing's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing Industry: A City That Eats Much and Grows Little, Turned Into a Showcase of Brands, Time-Honored Houses and Capital Food Security
Beijing's food processing does not win on raw materials or tonnage. It is a special case in which a mega-city props the sector up with state-owned groups, time-honored brands and the imperative of feeding the capital. Shounong and Ersheng anchor grain, oil, meat and dairy; Wangzhihe, Liubiju, Yueshengzhai, Guchuan and Sanyuan are its signatures; the relocation of Dahongmen's meat plants and the rise of central kitchens mark a shift from slaughtering in the city to brands and distribution.

A Study of Henan's Liquor, Beverage and Refined Tea Manufacturing — Yu-Liquor's Aroma Breakout, One Leaf in Xinyang and the Beverage Belt Along Two Rivers
Henan has never lacked brewing history yet long lacked a national brand: Yangshao in Mianchi turned its tao-rong aroma into a recognised aroma type, Songhe in Luyi fell from a national-famous liquor into bankruptcy restructuring, Xinyang's Maojian sustains a tea chain worth over sixteen billion yuan, and functional drinks have grown up around Jiyuan and Luohe. This report follows three threads — aroma, tea and beverage — to map the sector's landscape, leaders and pressures.

Hainan Water Production and Supply: Free-Trade-Port Water Services, Island Desalination, and an Underrated Water Industry Chain
Hainan's water industry does not win on scale but stands on three problems of widely differing difficulty: high-quality water services for the free-trade-port core cities, seawater desalination on remote reefs, and closing the sewage-treatment gap across the island. Using real data, this report maps the chain, its leaders, and upstream supply opportunities.

Hubei Electricity and Heat Production and Supply: A Hydro-Thermal Power Mix and a Southern City's District-Heating Experiment
Hubei is a hub province of Central China's power grid, with a generation mix that balances hydro and thermal power while new energy gains ground fast. Although it sits south of China's official heating line, Wuhan's Qingshan waste-heat heating and Optics Valley's gas-turbine heating are turning district heating from a northern privilege into a workable engineering proposition. This report maps the real structure, leading players, and upstream supply opportunities of this utilities chain.

Zhejiang Food Manufacturing: From a Wahaha Water Bottle to Shaoxing Rice Wine, Jinhua Ham and Zhoushan Deep-Sea Fish
Zhejiang's food sector is not built on a single category but on four unrelated clusters: Hangzhou's beverage giant, the heritage crafts of Shaoxing rice wine and Jinhua ham, Zhoushan's distant-water seafood processing, and an e-commerce snack supply chain hubbed in Hangzhou. This report maps each cluster, its leaders and its upstream supply opportunities on real data.

Hunan's Metal Products, Machinery and Equipment Repair Industry: When the Nation's Largest Construction-Machinery Base Starts Recovering and Rebuilding Its Own Used Machines
Hunan's equipment repair sector is not a standalone trade but an extension of a 250-billion-yuan construction-machinery and rail-transit base. It is growing from after-sales repair into a remanufacturing industry coordinated across Changsha, Xiangtan and Yueyang, linking recovery, overhaul, rebuilding and export into one new chain.

Fujian Other Manufacturing: A Patchwork of Niche Output in Rattan-Iron, Crafts, Oil Painting and Eyewear
Other manufacturing is a catch-all category stitched from daily-use goods, stationery and assorted crafts. Yet in this unremarkable corner Fujian holds several national and even global cards: Anxi rattan-iron, Putian arts-and-crafts and oil painting, and Xiamen eyewear. Using real data, this report maps these self-contained clusters and their upstream supply opportunities.

Gansu's Waste Resource Recovery Industry: The Urban Mines of Two Mining Cities, Jinchang and Baiyin
Gansu's waste resource recovery industry grows on the legacy of two mining cities: Jinchang turns the two hundred million tonnes of solid waste left by nickel-cobalt smelting into eight comprehensive-utilization chains, while Baiyin, a resource-exhausted city, rebuilds an urban mine from recycled non-ferrous metals and scrapped batteries. This report traces the belt's origins, leading firms and transition challenges.

Hebei's Tobacco Manufacturing Industry: One China Tobacco Subsidiary, Three Cigarette Factories, and a Lineage That Begins With a Government Tobacco Works
Hebei's tobacco manufacturing is an industry whose boundaries are drawn by the state monopoly system and whose entire manufacturing base rests on a single industrial entity, Hebei China Tobacco. This report traces it from China's first government-run tobacco works, examines the structure of its Zhangjiakou, Shijiazhuang and Baoding factories and its Lotus and Diamond brands, and is candid about the limits of public data.

Gansu Rail and Aerospace Equipment: An Inland Sample Held Up by Third-Front Legacy and Central SOE Institutes
Gansu's railway, ship, aerospace, and other transport equipment industry is not a market-driven cluster but an inland sample held up by Third-Front-era legacy and central state-owned institutes. Drawing on verified data, this report maps its three pillars — rail transit, aerospace, general aviation — and its near-absent shipbuilding link.
