The globalization process of Chinese enterprises is entering an era of "dual-driven" development—where the export of industries and the outflow of capital work in tandem to become a key driving force for economic transformation. The Chinese Research Data Services Platform (CNRDS) will provide the latest multi-dimensional authoritative data to decode the wave of enterprises going global.
 

• Overseas M&A Database-COMA
  • A professional database built based on data from corporate announcements, news reports, the official website of the Ministry of Commerce, and other sources.
  • It includes event data on overseas mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by Chinese companies (both listed and unlisted) since 1988.
  • The database primarily consists of four tables: M&A events, acquirers, target companies, and financial information of target companies.

• Outward Foreign Direct Investment Database-OFDI
  • The data sources are authoritative. OFDI is based on statistical data from government departments or non-profit organizations, which are authoritative and reliable.
  • Comprehensive statistical data and event information. OFDI not only includes the overall data of China's direct investment in various countries and regions over a certain period but also lists the detailed information of relevant important events during that period, providing important data support for academic research.

• China Trade and External Economic Statistical Database-TEES
  • A specialized database compiled from National Bureau of Statistics data, designed to reflect the development of China's domestic trade, foreign economic trade, and tourism.
  • It primarily consists of nine major modules: General Overview, Consumer Goods Market, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Accommodation and Catering Industry, Balance of Payments, Foreign Trade, Utilization of Foreign Capital, Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation, and Tourism.

• Chinese Customs Trade Database-CCTD
  • Authoritative Data Sources. The data of CCTD originates from the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China. It accurately organizes data information and intuitively reflects the main statistical data from the Chinese customs.
  • Since 2014, the data has been presented in a monthly format. It is organized into tables according to various categories such as the type and composition of imported and exported goods, destinations and origins, modes of trade, foreign-invested enterprises, specific regions, and import/export commodity trade indices. It includes two major modules: the total value of import/export customs trade and the import/export commodity trade indices.

• Customs Import-Export Enterprise Patent Database-CIEP
  • Detailed Customs Import and Export Enterprise Data: CIEP not only displays the business information of customs import and export enterprises from 2000 to 2016 but also counts the patent applications and grants of these enterprises over the years.
  • Comprehensive Green Patent Classification Standards: Considering different research needs, CIEP provides the customs import and export patent conditions that meet two definitions of green patents. These definitions are based on the International Green Patent Classification Table and the Green Technology Patent Classification System issued by the National Intellectual Property Administration in August 2023.
  • Focus on Industrial Import and Export Enterprises: CIEP focuses on the innovation and development of industrial import and export enterprises. It matches the list of Chinese customs import and export enterprises with the list of industrial enterprises from the National Bureau of Statistics, displaying the patent conditions of industrial import and export enterprises.

• Overseas Operation Database of Listed Companies-COOD
  • Multidimensional Display of Listed Companies' Overseas Operations: It not only shows the operating conditions of overseas subsidiaries and associated companies of listed companies at the micro level, but also comprehensively displays the overseas operating conditions through the segment reporting of listed companies.
  • Long Time Series and Abundant Data: Data on overseas subsidiaries and associated companies starts from 2010, and overseas operating revenue data starts from 2001, providing overseas operating data for listed companies over multiple years.

CEIC Data has entered into a deep partnership with human resources analytics firm Revelio Labs, incorporating the high-frequency alternative data provided by Revelio Labs into the CEIC Data.

By collecting and aggregating all publicly available professional profiles, job postings, employee sentiment reviews, and layoff notices, Revelio Labs provides the largest and most dynamic workforce database.

You can access CEIC Data, navigate to High Frequency Database → Alternative Data → Labour Market, and select Revelio Labs: Job Postings.

Donald Trump is reshaping international trade rules during his second term. Shortly after taking office, he swiftly implemented a sweeping array of tariff policies: a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, alongside 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel. The latest tariff proposal further targets all foreign-made automobile imports, seeking to impose a 25% duty.

Amid the complex landscape of global trade, CEIC presents this chartbook featuring 20 visualizations, highlighting the context of these tariffs, the affected industries among key U.S. trading partners, and potential ripple effects on consumer prices.

It includes: 

• Trump 1.0 vs Trump 2.0: How Global Trade Has Shifted Under Tariffs Since 2017
  • 2016 vs 2024: The Rise of Mexico and ASEAN's "Connector Economies" in US Import Markets
  • Post-Pandemic Surge: Canada's share of US imports grows
• Mexico and Canada
  • Deepening US-Canada-Mexico cross-border industrial integration may amplify tariff impacts.
  • Canada dominates U.S. energy supply chains, while Mexico accounts for approximately one-quarter of America's automotive imports.
  • Three decades ago, oil accounted for a relatively small share of Canada's exports to the United States, but with significant production growth, energy exports now exceed automotive exports.
  • Mexico's Sustained Export Boom
  • Automobiles have consistently remained Mexico's flagship export to the United States, while petroleum has seen a steady decline in its export significance since the 2000s.
• China and Other Nations
  • China's agricultural imports from Brazil now substantially exceed those from the United States.
  • In 2024, manufactured goods—particularly electronics—have dominated China's exports to the U.S.
  • The U.S. continues to expand imports from Vietnam and other "bridge economies."
• Inflation Impact
  • Inflation expectations have risen steadily each month since Trump's election victory in November.
  • Just as price pressures show signs of stabilization, new tariffs on aluminum and steel threaten to boost costs across U.S. automotive, construction and food industries.

China is rapidly transitioning into a deeply aging society, making elderly care a focal issue for both academia and industry. The Elderly Care Theme Database launched by CNRDS (Chines Research Data Services Platform) provides researchers and practitioners with an authoritative one-stop data solution. CNRDS integrates four major authoritative databases to construct a "golden matrix" for aging research:

1. PARD (Population Aging Research Database) comprehensively demonstrates China's aging situation through five key dimensions: demographic fundamentals, living conditions of the elderly, elderly care institutions, and pension insurance systems. The database provides real-time tracking of nationwide and provincial-level core indicators including: age structure dynamics, dependency ratios, 20-year longitudinal data revealing the evolving trajectory of the "silver tsunami".

   

2. CASD (Civil Affairs Statistics Database) comprehensively reflects the development of China's social services through four key dimensions: Core Social Service Indicators, Comprehensive Social Service Statistics, Historical Social Service Data, and Provincial-level Social Service Statistics (Current Year). The database deeply integrates civil affairs data including: number of elderly care institutions, community service coverage rates, social welfare expenditure, decoding policy implementation effectiveness, and identifying supply-demand gaps in social services.

   

3. MACRO (Macroeconomic Database) comprehensively documents China's economic transformation and social development across 28 dimensions since 1978, encompassing economic indicators from all industries and sectors.

   

4. CRED (China Regional Economic Database) comprehensively reflects the regional economic and social development conditions of China's 31 provinces and municipalities from 28 aspects, encompassing various types of regional economic indicators. The database is primarily constructed through the integration of multi-source data from the National Bureau of Statistics, local statistical agencies, and statistical yearbooks.
