The company base: cards + figures

The cards say what is inside and under which ID prefix; the figures show the shape. All numbers share one source with the live tables.

Company base: 131 company entities + 37 grade benchmarks
Chinese companies 38 · international 35 · equipment vendors 58. Not de-duplicated on purpose: the same group can appear in both the company and vendor tables — those are different analytical views, not duplicates.

International companies by country/region (top 8)
35 international companies span 20 countries/regions. Chinese companies are excluded: their region is uniformly 'China' and the city detail lives in a separate field — charting provinces would produce a name list, not a distribution.

A-grade share: how solid each of the eight tables is
Articles (100%), standards (86.4%) and policies (81.6%) rank highest — they rest on official documents or first-party research. Vendor records sit lower because many entries are company self-statements (grade B). Knowledge cards at 0% is not a quality failure: cards are derivatives and carry no independent grade.

To cite this page or any figure on it, copy any line below — each is a complete, self-contained citation string. Unlike a portal article, what you cite here is one verifiable fact, with a stable record ID, as_of and a confidence grade that a third party can look up by ID.

Reuse this work

Text, figures and structured data on this page are free to reuse (including commercially), under two conditions:

  1. Attribution: credit "Source: Trustbase Lab" and keep a link to https://trustbaselab.com/en/database/;
  2. Keep the identifiers: when citing a single fact, keep the record ID, as_of and confidence grade — they are the carriers of verifiability. Remove them and the citation loses its point.

Figures are generated at build time as inline SVG from our own data (data.json) — no external chart services, reproducible offline. Upstream third-party sources (UN Comtrade, EU official journals, ISO, WHO and others) remain the property of their respective rights holders; this page cites them factually and attributes them.
