a_share_chain_edge
Use when the user asks HOW two Chinese companies relate: who supplies whom, who competes with whom, who owns equity in whom, or whether an acquisition target overlaps with the acquirer's product line. Every relationship returned carries a verbatim quote from a filed document (annual report, prospectus, restructuring draft, related-party announcement) and a confidence tag: primary = the filing says it outright, secondary = broker or media, inferred = our deduction with no direct textual proof. Unlisted companies work as inputs too, which matters for acquisition targets. If the pair has not been researched it says so plainly instead of guessing - absence of a record is not evidence of no relationship. Do NOT call this for prices, valuation or index levels.
