Unclassified APNIC
Summary
State Information Center of P.R. China
government research legacy
CEISTNET-AS-AP is registered to The State Information Center of the People's Republic of China (国家信息中心), the national information and economic research body that sits under China's National Development and Reform Commission.
What it's used for
- Networking for the State Information Center's own systems, including its economic information and statistics work.
- Announcing a modest block of APNIC space (roughly 4,000 IPv4 addresses) — a government/institutional network, not an eyeball or transit network.
Notable
- The State Information Center is best known for the China Economic Information Network (CEInet), the source of the
CEIin the handle. - It is a policy-and-analysis organ as much as an IT operation: macroeconomic forecasting, government informatisation and national data work.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
