# China Industrial Machinery Sourcing Skill ## Description This skill helps international buyers navigate China's industrial machinery manufacturing landscape, which is projected to exceed **¥11.8 trillion in revenue by 2026**. It provides data-backed intelligence on regional clusters, supply chain structure, and industry trends based on the latest government policies and industry reports. ## Key Capabilities - **Industry Overview**: Get a summary of China's industrial machinery industry scale, development targets, and key policy initiatives. - **Supply Chain Structure**: Understand the complete industry chain from raw materials and core components to downstream applications. - **Regional Clusters**: Identify specialized manufacturing hubs for different machinery types (CNC machine tools, construction machinery, agricultural equipment, packaging lines, robotics, etc.). - **Subsector Insights**: Access detailed information on key subsectors (metal cutting machine tools, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, packaging machinery, industrial robots, etc.). - **Sourcing Recommendations**: Get practical guidance on evaluating and selecting suppliers, including verification methods, communication best practices, and typical lead times. ## How to Use You can interact with this skill using natural language. For example: - "What's the overall status of China's industrial machinery industry in 2026?" - "Show me the supply chain structure for industrial machinery" - "Which regions are best for sourcing CNC machine tools?" - "Tell me about construction machinery manufacturing clusters in China" - "How do I evaluate suppliers of packaging lines?" - "What certifications should I look for in industrial robot suppliers?" ## Data Sources This skill aggregates data from: - Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) official policies - China Machinery Industry Federation (CMIF) annual reports - National Bureau of Statistics of China - Industry research publications (updated Q1 2026) ## Implementation The skill logic is implemented in `do.py`, which reads structured data from `data.json`. All data is cluster-level intelligence without individual factory contacts. ## API Reference The following Python functions are available in `do.py` for programmatic access: ### `get_industry_overview() -> Dict` Returns overview of China's industrial machinery industry scale, targets, and key policy initiatives. **Example:** ```python from do import get_industry_overview result = get_industry_overview() # Returns: industry scale, 2026 targets, automation rates, key drivers, etc.
