Dataset card

Zhiwei Data publishes a China-focused social and news sentiment feed that tracks discussion across Chinese-language platforms and links it to A-share equities. The dataset is offered under a commercial license with no public sample rows or documented schema.

What this dataset contains

The product is positioned as a sentiment dataset covering Chinese social media (notably Weibo) and news flow, with tags explicitly tying the signal to A-shares. It is listed as a commercial, licensed offering rather than a free or open release. Coverage scope, volume and update frequency are not disclosed in the supplied record.

Structure and fields

No column schema is provided in the source facts, so the underlying field names and granularity cannot be stated reliably. The dataset tags reference 'china', 'weibo', 'a-shares' and 'sentiment', suggesting entity-level or ticker-level sentiment scores, but any specific columns should be confirmed with the vendor before use. No sample rows are available to verify the format.

How analysts use it

Based on its stated focus, long/short equity managers and macro funds covering Chinese A-shares could use the feed to gauge retail and media sentiment around specific names or themes, complementing fundamentals and earnings-event work. Given the absence of disclosed fields and any sample rows, investors should validate latency, ticker mapping and historical depth directly with Zhiwei Data before integrating it into a production signal.
