About Chnchemicals

Last updated 8 November 2026

Chnchemicals is an independent English-language publication covering China's chemical industry. We track the prices, plants, feedstock, trade rules and corporate moves that decide how chemicals are produced, traded, financed and consumed.

What we cover

• Policy and trade: tariffs, anti-dumping duties, export controls, environmental inspections and industrial policy.
• Plants and capacity: crackers, refineries, PDH and MTO units, expansions, turnarounds and commissioning.
• Products and materials: polymers, coatings, pigments, additives, electronic and battery materials.
• Markets: prices, spreads, inventory, operating rates and trade flows.
• Logistics: chemical tankers, ports, tank storage and distribution channels.

Who we are

Chnchemicals is produced by a 10-person editorial team based in Wuzhou, Guangxi. Our editors select stories, check key figures against the cited primary source and are responsible for what we publish. Meet the editorial team.

How we work

Our editorial workflow monitors publicly available sources and produces a concise English article for each development. Every article is reviewed by an editor before publication. Each article links to its original source in the Source block, and our structured data records that source asisBasedOn.

We use AI-assisted tools for translation, source monitoring and structured metadata. These tools support our editors but do not make publication decisions. Automated tools can still introduce errors; when we find one, we correct it and update the article.

Where an article contains interpretation, it is placed in a clearly labelled “Chnchemicals take” block and is grounded in facts stated in the article.

Industry reference

For industry statistics and standards we refer to theChina Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation (CPCIF), the national-level industry federation covering chemicals and petrochemicals in China.

Independence

Chnchemicals does not publish sponsored articles or paid placements. Our coverage is not directed by advertisers, chemical producers or financial institutions. Nothing we publish is investment advice.
