*LQ (location quotient) = provincial share ÷ national share. >1.2 markedly denser than national average, <0.8 markedly thinner. An arithmetic ratio, not a rating.
Where in China should we go? — here is what the registrations say:
Sectors markedly denser than the national average: Mining (LQ 3.24) · Agriculture & Fishery (LQ 1.83) · Utilities (LQ 1.81) · Health & Social Work (LQ 1.43) · Transport & Logistics (LQ 1.2)
Markedly thinner: R&D & Technical Services (LQ 0.63) · Manufacturing (LQ 0.66) · Leasing & Business Services (LQ 0.78) · Culture, Sports & Entertainment (LQ 0.79) · Finance (LQ 0.8)
  • Sourcing: high-LQ sectors mean dense supply — more candidates, more room to compare
  • Market entry: low-LQ sectors mean fewer local rivals — but a thinner ecosystem; check up/downstream before committing
  • Next: pull the provincial company list for your target sector, then screen candidates one by one (Find Manufacturers / supplier screening)
Arithmetic presentation of registration data with procedural next steps — not investment or site-selection advice.
