Abstract
The primary data on HCC establishments as of the end of 2022 were obtained from the Tianyancha platform (https://www.tianyancha.com/), a widely used enterprise credit information database in China. All HCC networks were converted into binary (0/1) matrices for analysis. The final matrix specifications were:
Provincial-provincial HCC: 31×31 square matrix (675 records were coded as 1).
City-city HCC: 286×286 square matrix (2071 records were coded as 1).
Provincial-city HCC: 236×31 rectangular matrix (798 records were coded as 1).
City-provincial HCC: 30×270 rectangular matrix (1762 records were coded as 1).
