Chinese measures as English-language news, trade press, think tanks and consultancies report them, often the day they are announced and sometimes before we hold the Chinese text. Each report is read for what kind of measure it describes, the body and number it names, and the stage (proposed, announced, taking effect, eased). Then it is matched to the held document it points at. Where none is held, it gives the Chinese phrase and dates to search for. Leads, not sources: the Chinese original is the record.
525 reports held from 32 outlets, last scan 2026-10-20 02:26. Refresh with manage.py scan_foreign; after an import, scan_foreign --match-only links leads to newly collected originals.
