Policies that name firms

Generated 2026-10-14 by manage.py firm_report, from the lists extract_firm_lists reads out of document bodies and attachments (waitan_ludi_app/firm_lists.py).

367 documents publish a list naming firms: 177662 entries, 19279 distinct firms. Every row is in firm_listings.csv; the firm register is firms.csv (edit ownership in the admin: analyst calls are kept).

Reading the ownership columns. Ownership comes from a curated name lexicon: the major automakers and their joint ventures, central SOE groups, well-known private groups and multinationals. "Unclassified" means the name says nothing either way; most are small domestic firms, but that is a presumption, not a finding. Taiwan and Hong Kong investors count as foreign-invested, as in China's FDI statistics.

What being listed means

Entries count each listed item (a vehicle model, a project); a firm with twenty tax-exempt models has twenty entries.

Foreign-invested firms in benefit lists

Tax relief, subsidy eligibility, payments and designations naming a foreign-owned firm or a joint venture. Entries per firm and kind.
