About this directory

Facts over claims.

China Alternatives maps Chinese-built software and hardware products to their Western equivalents across the full technology stack — from silicon to user interface. We surface two independent facts for each product: whether it is open source, and whether its parent company is publicly listed.

"Listed" does not always mean foreign-investable. A company listed on China's A-share market may have restricted access for overseas investors. We flag this separately.

Data snapshot: May–Jun 2026. Market caps are point-in-time approximations — verify against live sources before relying on them for financial decisions.
