China Market Intelligence, in full.
China discloses more than most investors realize. Almost none of it arrives in a form a Western research process can use. Orbit built the whole record: eight datasets, translated, structured, point in time, and anchored to the same entity master as every other market we cover.
Why this market needs its own collection
Three things make China unlike any other market.
Retail moves the price
Retail investors account for an estimated 50 to 70 percent of daily A-share trading volume, against 10 to 20 percent in developed markets. Sentiment moves prices in ways a filings-only view never captures.
Regulation compels disclosure with no Western equivalent
When institutions carry out on-site research at a listed company, that company must publish the Q&A. When retail investors ask questions on the exchange platforms, executives must answer on the record.
The record is in Mandarin, distributed differently
Coverage sits behind channels outside the reach of most global vendors. Most respond by covering the headline filings and stopping there.
The result is a market that is at once the most disclosed and the least accessible.
What is in the collection
Five kinds of intelligence, eight datasets.
Each dataset answers a different question about the same company. Together they give you the complete picture of the Chinese market, from every side that moves it, available nowhere else.
Sell-side Intelligence
China Broker Research
What the analysts who cover these names actually concluded.
Market Intelligence
China Exchange Filings · Earnings Call Transcripts · Bond Issues and Corporate Actions
The official record. What was filed, what was said on the call, and what was issued in debt.
Institutional Investor Intelligence
Institutional Meeting Transcripts · Third Party Transcripts
What was said when institutions were in the room, on the record and off it.
Retail Investor Intelligence
Retail Investor Q&A Transcripts
What the investors who move A-share prices are asking about, and when.
Trade Flow Intelligence
Trade Order Flow Data
How the market actually traded, at full order book depth.

China Broker Research
Sell-side IntelligenceThe domestic sell-side view on Chinese companies, from the 119 houses that cover them most closely. Sell-side research is normally gated by entitlements, meaning access depends on holding a trading relationship with each broker. Orbit removes that barrier: the full set arrives licensed, translated and tagged to standard identifiers, so it joins cleanly to filings and price history and holds up in a backtest.
China Exchange Filings
Market IntelligenceEvery exchange document filed by China A-share companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges, parsed to machine-readable text and vectorized at block level. The archive is point in time, so companies that have since delisted remain in the record and a backtest is not distorted by survivorship.
Earnings Call Transcripts
Market IntelligenceTranscripts of earnings calls held after annual and quarterly results are filed with the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges. Management's own account of the quarter, in full, translated and structured so it can be compared across periods, across peers and against what the company filed.
Institutional Meeting Transcripts
Institutional Investor IntelligenceA disclosure type that exists only because Chinese regulation requires it. When brokers, asset managers and investment banks carry out on-site research at a listed company, that company is obliged to publish the Q&A that follows. Roughly 75 to 80 percent do so within three days. There is no Western equivalent: this is the institutional conversation, on the record.
Retail Investor Q&A Transcripts
Retail Investor IntelligenceVerified Q&A between retail investors and company executives, taken from the official Shanghai and Shenzhen interaction platforms, where every question receives a formal company response. A behavioral dataset rather than a filings feed. Abnormal spikes in engagement at single company level act as an early indicator of price movement, volatility and emerging risk.
Third Party Transcripts
Institutional Investor IntelligencePrivate institutional meetings that operate on a membership and whitelist basis and never reach a public exchange. Buy-side and sell-side sessions, acquired through commercial arrangements with the platforms that host them. This is the most timely indication of what management is thinking, available before next market open.
Bond Issues and Corporate Actions
Market IntelligenceThe onshore credit market underneath the equity record, across all three Chinese venues: the interbank market, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Full lifecycle reference data on every bond, paired with 24 types of structured corporate action event. Event detail arrives as machine-readable JSON with links to the original filing, so no Chinese-language PDF parsing is required. 769 A-share listed companies have bonds outstanding, which makes this the natural bridge between the equity datasets and credit.
Trade Order Flow Data
Trade Flow IntelligenceFull depth order book data on the China A-share market. Used by quantitative teams for microstructure research, execution analysis and signal development, and by fundamental teams who want to see how the market actually traded around a disclosure rather than only what was disclosed.
Depth of history
How far back the record goes.
Every layer is held point in time, so a backtest sees what the market saw on the day.
Why take them together
Eight datasets, all linked back to our entity master.
Chinese company names change, subsidiaries are restructured, and the same issuer appears differently across the interbank market, the exchanges and the sell-side. Orbit resolves all of it to one master record, tagged to ticker, exchange and ISIN, and holds the history point in time.
That is what turns eight separate feeds into one view: compare what the sell-side concluded against what the company filed, against what management said on the call, against what retail investors were asking at the time, against how the bonds behaved. It is a picture of a Chinese company that no single source provides, and it is the same entity master that runs across every other market Orbit covers.
How you take it
All of it, or the layer you are missing.
The collection is modular. Most teams start with the layer that fills a gap in what they already run, then add from there.
Orbit MCP
MCP is the open standard that lets an AI assistant connect straight to a data source. Orbit publishes its coverage as an MCP endpoint, so Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise and your own internal agents can query the China collection directly, with every answer cited back to the document it came from. No integration project and no data movement.
