# Does this business need a China operating node?

A research-in-progress decision node for testing whether China creates a real operating advantage before legal setup begins.

## The question comes before the paperwork

This node will test whether a founder's business gains something concrete from a China presence through market access, clients, supply chain, talent, research, data or physical operations. It is not a generic page about why China is attractive.

The full research pack is not published yet. For now, use this page to keep the question in the correct place: before visa, entity and city-selection work.

## Coming next

Future work will define evidence questions and stop conditions for market, customer, supply-chain, talent, research, data and physical-presence dependencies.

> Research placeholder: no sector conclusion, city recommendation or claim of China fit is made on this page.

## Beijing AI Founder Policy Intelligence

Use the public policy map to understand the municipal AI stack, technology tracks and district ecosystems before testing eligibility or selecting an operating geography.

- Start with the flagship policy map.
- Use technology pages for agents, AI OPC, embodied AI and AI for Science.
- Use the neutral district index for public coverage—not a founder ranking.
