China's "Regulations on the Administration of Enterprise Name Registration" stipulates in Article 6:
An enterprise is only allowed to use one name, and it shall not be the same as or similar to the name of a registered enterprise in the same industry within the jurisdiction of the registration authority. If there are special needs, with the approval of the registration authority at or above the provincial level, enterprises can use subordinate names within the prescribed scope.
Therefore, if it is not within the jurisdiction of the same registration authority and in the same industry, it can have the same name.
In fact, although there are many Chinese characters in China, due to customs, humanities, personal preferences, good wishes and other reasons, many enterprises like to choose auspicious, festive or beautiful names, resulting in many names, and many regulations cannot be used as names. If different names are implemented across regions, it is difficult to meet the naming requirements of enterprises.

Extended data:
Judging from the market information, how many thriving enterprises inadvertently fell on the parabola of names. Enterprises that have tasted the sweetness of good names are booming. Companies that haven't tasted the sweetness have already taken action, and others are preparing to take action.
From the name of the enterprise, we can also see the track of its career development. Every time it is renamed, it marks that the enterprise exhibition has reached a new realm. Of course, if you have a good name at the beginning of your business, it is undoubtedly a good thing and conducive to the development of your future career.
Trademarks are becoming more and more important in the market and among citizens. At present, domestic formal businesses have basically banned products without trademarks from entering. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, citizens pay more attention to and recognize brands when buying goods.
Spending more money and wearing famous brands has become the consumption habit of people who get rich first. With the development of market economy, enterprises, products and trademarks are increasing day by day. In the past, it has become more and more difficult to name businesses by luck-followed by professional naming companies came into being with the demand of the market.
