The Beijing inspection market
Beijing hosts the headquarters of China's largest energy and aerospace SOEs — CNPC (China National Petroleum Corporation) and Sinopec Group HQ, AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China) headquarters and its Beijing research institutes, and a dense defense-manufacturing and MRO cluster. Export-facing suppliers to AVIC and CNPC's overseas pipeline and refinery projects drive ASNT demand alongside domestic GB/SY codes.
