Editorial Methodology
How we work — from discovery to publication.
1. Discovery
We monitor public Chinese-language sources to identify potentially important developments.
2. Clustering
Multiple reports about the same event are grouped together so that repeated coverage does not become repeated articles.
3. Source Review
We look for primary documents, company statements, government releases, research papers and original reporting. Portal reposts and unverified social-media claims are treated as leads, not proof.
4. Verification
Material claims are compared across available sources. Conflicting or unverified information is labeled as such.
5. Analysis
We focus on why a development matters, what Chinese context may be missing from international coverage, and what evidence readers should watch next.
6. Human Review
AI tools may assist with translation, clustering, research organization and initial drafting. A human editor reviews the final selection, factual framing, analysis and wording before publication.
