Entity · Country

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

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.

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.
