Searching a Chinese company or person? You’re probably missing 90% of it. The real records — company registries, court cases, government contract awards, patents — are filed under **Chinese** names on **Chinese** sites, invisible to your English Google search. This free guide hands you the exact searches to pull them out — **no Chinese reading needed**. 🇨🇳

By **Matt Edmondson** (Argelius Labs), the guy who wrote SANS’s OSINT courses. **OSINT** = finding info that’s already public using just search. No hacking, no logins — public records only.

🔍 **The core move:** pair your **target** with a **Chinese pivot word** (one keyword that flips “everything” into “the exact doc”). The formula:

```auto
"[TARGET]" "[CHINESE PIVOT TERM]" site:[DOMAIN] filetype:[TYPE]

```

Example: company name + 中标公告 _(award notice)_ + `site:ccgp.gov.cn` _(gov procurement site)_ + `filetype:pdf` ➜ the actual contract PDFs. Every Chinese term comes with its English translation — just copy-paste.

# 🤯 Shit you can actually do with this

- 🛒 **That AliExpress/Alibaba supplier you’re about to wire $5k to?** Pull their real company registry entry + any lawsuits before you send a cent. Find out if they’re a real factory or a guy reselling from his bedroom.
- 💼 **New job offer from a Chinese firm?** Check if the company actually exists, who owns it, and whether it’s drowning in court cases — before you sign.
- 📈 **Holding a Chinese stock?** Find the official securities disclosures and contract awards the English news never bothered to translate.
- 🏭 **Vetting a partner or competitor?** Map who owns what, which shell companies connect, and the patents they’ve quietly filed.
- 🕵 **Journalist or just curious?** Trace a person’s former company names, aliases, and the registration IDs that tie it all together.

The thread running through all of it: the proof is _public_ and _free_ — it’s just sitting on Chinese portals nobody told you to check.

🎯 **28 sections of ready-made “dorks”** (pre-built search strings that yank one record type):  
🏢 corporate ownership · 📈 stock filings · 👤 people & bios · ⚖ lawsuits & penalties · 📋 contracts & tenders · 🔬 patents, locations, socials

🧭 **Plus:** Baidu syntax (China’s Google — works differently, guide says which operators actually do anything), a map of official source portals, and a verification system so fake records don’t fool you.

🧠 **The step everyone botches:** get the **name** wrong and every perfect search after returns confident garbage. Guide nails the real Chinese name + IDs _first_.

⚠ Public records only — read Section 1 first. Researching Chinese entities carries real legal weight (China’s PIPL, Data Security Law) depending on who/where you are. Know the lane.

The records were public the whole time. You were just searching in the wrong language. 🇨🇳
