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.
Guizhou Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Miao Medicine as the Moat, Tianma and Dendrobium as the Foundation
Guizhou's pharmaceutical competitiveness rests on two pillars — Miao ethnic medicine, where Guizhou leads all Chinese provinces in ethnic pharmaceutical output with four listed companies (Yibai, Bailing, Shenqi, Xinbang), and authentic-origin medicinal herbs, where Dafang tianma, Chishui dendrobium, and Shibing pseudostellaria root rank at the top nationally. This report maps the industry structure and its transformation challenges.

Chongqing Paper and Paper Products Industry: Bamboo Pulp Cluster in Yongchuan and the Dual-Track Logic of Local Downstream Demand
Chongqing's papermaking weight concentrates in Yongchuan, anchored by Lee & Man Paper, building an integrated bamboo pulp, packaging paper, and tissue paper chain on local bamboo resources, while the city's food and auto-moto packaging demand provides a stable local absorption channel.

Shaanxi Furniture Manufacturing: Xi'an as the Axis, Radiating Across Five Northwest Provinces
Shaanxi's furniture industry plays a dual role centered on Xi'an — both a regional distribution hub and a local manufacturing base. The Northwest Furniture Industrial Park in Lantian County hosts 165 enterprises, while the 1.5-million-square-meter China Origin New City in Jinghe New City serves as the Northwest's largest home furnishings trade platform, covering six provinces. The industry is mid-tier in scale nationally but holds a well-established logistics and trade position in the Northwest…

Chemical Fiber Manufacturing in Tibet: An Industrial Void Shaped by Ecological Priority
Tibet has no commercial-scale chemical fiber manufacturing industry. The combination of ecological protection policy, absent petrochemical feedstocks, and a clean-energy-first industrial strategy has produced this structural void — while the region's textile tradition runs entirely on natural fibers such as pulu, yak wool, and Tibetan carpets.

Heilongjiang Petroleum and Coal Processing: The Daqing Refining Dual-Engine and Coal Chemical Transformation
The Daqing refining complex — anchored by Daqing Petrochemical and Daqing Refining — forms a 19-million-ton crude processing base, while the four coal cities pivot toward downstream chemical derivatives under mounting resource and carbon constraints.

Qinghai Province Printing Industry: Publishing, Tibetan-Language Printing and Local Packaging
Qinghai's printing sector is small in scale but distinctive in function, anchored by educational textbook printing and Tibetan-language publication output, with recent consolidation under a provincial state-owned media group.

Tibet's Textile Industry: Pulu and Tibetan Carpet Traditions and Modern Transition
Tibet's textile industry is dominated by ethnic handcraft wool weaving. Pulu and Kaden (carpet) represent the two core intangible-heritage crafts; modern large-scale textile manufacturing is nearly absent, while yak-down primary processing is an emerging industrial direction.

Shaanxi's Cultural, Educational, Arts & Crafts, Sports and Entertainment Products Manufacturing: Deep Folk Heritage, Modest Modern Scale
Shaanxi's competitive strength in this sector lies overwhelmingly in intangible cultural heritage crafts — Fengxiang painted clay figurines, Yaozhou celadon, Ansai paper cutting, and horse-ladle face masks — while modern standardized manufacturing of stationery and sporting goods remains limited in scale.

Chongqing Wood and Bamboo Products Industry: Liangping Bamboo Sea, Rongchang Maso Bamboo, and the Western Timber Port
Chongqing's wood and bamboo products industry has three anchors worth examining separately: Liangping's moso bamboo industrial chain stands out across Southwest China, Rongchang's maso bamboo has carved out its own multi-product export structure, and Banan District's Western China Timber Trading Port is building a logistics hub for the entire western region's timber consumption.

Guizhou Food Manufacturing: Lao Gan Ma, Sour Soup, and Cili Berry — Three Stories Behind the Province's Flavor Industry
Guizhou's food manufacturing rests on three pillars — a chili sauce brand generating nearly RMB 5.4 billion in annual revenue, a fast-growing sour soup seasoning cluster in Qiandongnan targeting RMB 10 billion, and a cili berry processing industry riding China's functional beverage wave — together mapping an inland province's distinctive industrial footprint.

Liaoning Petroleum and Fuel Processing: Structure and Transition of Northeast China's Refining Hub
Anchored by Dalian, Fushun, and Panjin, Liaoning operates China's largest refining cluster in the northeast, with over 68 million tonnes of annual capacity, now pivoting toward fine chemicals.

Qinghai Province Furniture Manufacturing: Local Supply and Tibetan Furniture Identity Under Alpine Ecological Constraints
Qinghai's furniture industry is defined by two intersecting realities — near-zero local timber resources that force dependence on out-of-province supply, and a deep-rooted Tibetan woodcarving tradition centered in Huangzhong's Chenjiatan village that gave rise to the nationally recognised "Gesanghua" brand, the province's first furniture export enterprise.
