China A tracked procurement-relevant organisation, company, supplier, country, region, port, commodity, regulator, route or similar subject.

Type The kind of entity being tracked, such as Company, Country, Port, Commodity or Regulator.
Country
Record status The current record state of the entity, such as active, merged or archived.
Active
Review status The internal editorial review state of the entity record.
Pending
Description
Accepted collision risk (flagged, not ignored): dictionary matching is case-insensitive, so 'china' the country-name alias also matches 'china' the tableware/porcelain material in running text (e.g. 'bone china exports'). Judged acceptable given China's central importance to this corpus and the comparative rarity of tableware stories in wire/business news.

Record type
REAL
Entity Criticality A deterministic 0-100 score and Tier 1-5 rating of how structurally important this entity is to procurement and supply chains in general -- computed from its importance level, critical-supplier/strategic/watchlist flags and entity type. Country and Region entities are not scored here; they contribute through geographic exposure instead. This is a global assessment, not specific to any one customer's own exposure. — NOT APPLICABLE

Geographic entities contribute through geographic exposure rather than Entity Criticality.

Clear
Headline The concise title of the canonical procurement event. Type The kind of real-world development identified, such as a supply shortage, contract award, regulatory change or production disruption. Significance Significance estimates the potential procurement impact of the event, including factors such as supply, cost, operations, geography and strategic importance. Confidence Confidence indicates how reliable ProcIntel considers the event assessment based on the quality, quantity and independence of the supporting evidence. It does not measure the event's importance. Lifecycle Lifecycle shows the current state of the development: Breaking is newly detected, Active remains current, Monitoring is being watched for further changes, and Closed is no longer actively developing. Review The internal review status of the event record. It is separate from the real-world lifecycle of the underlying development. Articles The number of source articles linked to this canonical event. Several articles may describe the same underlying development. Evidence strength A plain-language assessment of how much independent evidence supports the Developing Intelligence thread.
