Judged acceptable given China's central importance to this corpus and the comparative rarity of tableware stories in wire/business news.

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.
