For the people who are curious, Danjiangkou in Hubei
do you have a source for this?
I just checked on the map of prefectures in Hubei on Wkp*dia, and clicked on the prefecture that's in the area on the map and looked for the county on the map of the prefecture for the right shape and location
I see
I couldn't find any details regarding estradiol production there, so if anyone has a source, please ping me
I found this article, which might be a clue. Estradiol starts as a cooking oil by-product. Hubei seems to be a hot spot for cooking oil plants, and I did find a few in that general area, although most of China's production appears to be located northeast of there. That's about as far as I got. I'm questioning the veracity of this, but it's not worth it to me to prove it one way or the other. Details are becoming more difficult to dig up.

Danjiangkou is mentioned by name in the image (丹江口).
This reply in Chinese suggests that these things are in fact produced there:

Information about the global market size seems to be difficult to find to be able to ultimately verify or deny the claim, but the publicly available information on this site suggests that Chinese companies may be responsible for at least a significant portion of it, even if not based there specifically.
