Database can be browsed by submitting a blank search query (though only from this page: https://gzhd.saic.gov.cn:8281/other/chaxun/listQyName.jsp), but only 10 results display at a time. The limit to the number of results displayed is a severe logistical limitation to using the database.

The data available at national level might not include certain companies which are registered at city/province level.

There is also a browseable government list of enterprises available here: https://zxjg.saic.gov.cn/saicmrktout/etpsPublish.do?method=toEtpsList&infoType=1# though it is unclear how comprehensive it is.
