*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: Construction (LQ 1.82)
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.
