# China Company Data – Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile

> China Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile responses updated with improved data quality and additional fields across all products.

## Overview

We've updated Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile responses for China (ISO code CN) with improved data quality and additional identifiers across all products. The headline change is consistent use of the Unified Social Credit Code (USCC) as the primary identifier, alongside a structured `otherIdentifiersField` array that carries the legacy registration and organisation codes.

### Key points

* **Search**: `registrationAuthorityField` and `registrationNumberField` are now returned
* **Lite Profile**: `codeField` now returns the Unified Social Credit Code (consistent with search), plus new `registrationDateField`, `registrationAuthorityField`, `registrationNumberField`, `companyNameInEnglishField`, address `typeField`, and a structured `otherIdentifiersField` array. Empty fields are no longer returned.
* **Enhanced Profile**: Same identifier improvements as Lite, plus activity and address `typeField`, a split `currencyField` on capital and shareholdings, normalised `legalFormField` with raw `legalFormDeclarationField`, and enriched `shareHoldersField` (address, currency, total share value, and `idField` for corporate shareholders)
* **Identifiers**: A new `otherIdentifiersField` array carries the legacy 15-digit Business Registration Number (`CN_BRN_CD` / `CN_LEGACY_REG_CD`) and the organisation code (`CN_ORG_CD`) where available

## Search results

`registrationAuthorityField` and `registrationNumberField` are now returned in search results, giving the registering authority and the Unified Social Credit Code directly from the search response.
