What the evidence says

Cash collection and balance-sheet pressure

Profit Rate of Business Revenue: 5.66 (Jan-Jul (%)); Asset-Liability Ratio: 58.4 (By the end of July (%)); Turnover Days of Finished Goods Inventory: 21.3 (By the end of July (days)); Average Collection Period for Accounts Receivable: 71.9 (By the end of July (days)).

These are aggregates for industrial enterprises above the designated size. They do not measure individual defaults or small-firm borrowing access.

How widely are profits growing?

Profits grew in 21 of 40 industries with a reported growth rate; 18 declined. This is an equal-count breadth measure, so a small industry counts as much as a large one.

Industries with a nonnumeric loss-to-profit comparison are excluded from this denominator. Growth rates are year-on-year for the source's cumulative period.

Manufacturing demand and activity

The latest manufacturing PMI is 49.8, below the 50 diffusion threshold. It changed by +0.6 index points from the preceding reported month.

A PMI is a survey diffusion index, not an output growth rate. NBS and CFLP are the source, not an independent Palimpsest business panel.

Depth, provenance and remaining gaps

Palimpsest aims to make China’s economic evidence useful at a granular level. China Beige Book’s private respondent network measures information that these public tables cannot supply. More table cells do not mean more independent evidence.

Dimension	Public evidence available here	Remaining gap
Industry and sector	Industrial revenue, costs, profits, production, retail and price tables	No consistent private-firm panel across all sectors
City	Housing-price tables for 70 cities, when captured	Housing coverage is not a city-wide economic survey
Ownership	Published state-holding, share-holding, private and foreign-invested aggregate categories	Overlapping categories; no respondent-level ownership comparison
Firm size	Published large, medium and small enterprise manufacturing PMI, when present	No private small-business credit, revenue or hiring panel
Province by sector	Not yet collected as a consistent time series	Provincial releases and licensed aggregate panels remain a priority
Credit and shadow finance	No independent firm-level borrowing-access measurement	Rejections, loan terms and informal credit require a licensed aggregate source

Economic evidence can inform questions about trade, debt and project demand. A shared country or date does not establish a link to narcotics, an armed group, or an individual.
