Against the backdrop of Reform and Opening-up and the establishment of a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics, market entities across various industries and economic sectors actively engage in market activities, providing continuous momentum for market development in China and globally.
According to Chinese regulations, establishing a company requires registration with administrative authorities, disclosing essential information including primary business classification (主营业务分类), registered address (注册地址), registered capital (注册资金), and registration date (注册日期). These disclosures offer valuable data for studying enterprise survival, industry coverage, and market vitality.
However, researchers face challenges in utilizing this data: the sheer volume conveys complexity comparable to grains of sand in the Ganges, rendering data acquisition and processing extremely time-consuming. To facilitate academic research, CnOpenData processes and statistically compiles industrial and commercial registration data, providing multidimensional statistical outputs.***## Data Features
